DESCRIPTION:
The FLIR A6700 MWIR Series is a research-grade cooled thermal imaging platform built around a high-performance Indium Antimonide (InSb) detector operating in the midwave infrared spectrum. Designed for demanding scientific and industrial applications, the series combines high thermal sensitivity, fast integration times, and radiometric imaging capabilities in a compact GigE-enabled platform.
The camera provides 640 × 512 resolution with 15 µm pixel pitch and supports both broadband 1.0–5.0 µm and standard MWIR 3.0–5.0 µm spectral configurations depending on model selection. Snapshot acquisition technology captures every pixel simultaneously, making the A6700 ideal for analysing rapid thermal transients, electronics behaviour, materials testing, aerospace components, ballistics research, and non-destructive evaluation.
The A6700 supports programmable frame rates up to 60 Hz at full resolution and significantly higher rates using subwindow operation. Fast integration times down to 480 ns allow precise capture of high-speed thermal events while maintaining accurate radiometric measurements. Gigabit Ethernet and SDI outputs enable integration into laboratory, research, and automated testing environments.
