High-Speed Ther­mo­graphy

Lasers are extremely versatile tools in industry and manufacturing technology. Due to their flexibility, they serve as a key technology for implementing the goals of industry 4.0. Although laser cutting and welding are nowadays regarded as turnkey technologies, the majority of laser applications, for example joining of hybrid materials, 3D printing or ultra-short pulse processing, still require considerable research and development.

Stress changes during tensile testing provide information about material properties of metals such as tensile strength. With the help of thermographic cameras metallic solid bodies can be tested for such stress changes.

Many new systems operate at very high laser intensity levels and consequently require close control of thermal processes. This is achieved by the use of infrared thermography which is both contact-less and provides imagery.

How do solid materials change structurally? The engineers Prof. Stefan Seelecke and Marvin Schmidt from Saarland University investigate this fundamental question in materials research. Both consider this topic with the help of micro-thermography. Their cutting‐edge basic research ensures that we will have even more energy‐efficient electric devices to use at home in future.

The generation of electricity power produced by wind turbines is expanding worldwide. This development is associated directly with an increasing demand to test the product reliability, functionality and life durability of wind turbine subsystems like the drive train.

Laser technologies are essential across industry, science and medicine — and thermography makes them even more powerful. Discover how infrared thermography enhances efficiency and quality in laser applications. In our online event, you’ll learn what matters when combining both technologies.

Join our online event to learn how thermography is used in aerospace engineering to reliably analyze materials, components, and processes under extreme conditions. Our experts will demonstrate which thermographic methods are suitable for different measurement tasks and how you can use them to gain valuable insights for research, development, and quality assurance.

Discover how thermography can be used to visualise and analyse flow behaviour based on thermal patterns – ideal for distinguishing between laminar and turbulent flows. In our online event, InfraTec will present infrared camera techniques and demonstrate how even minimal temperature differences below 15 mK can be captured without disturbing the flow.

Capturing fast thermal processes requires more than high frame rates and short integration times. In our online event, you’ll get a clear overview of the key factors for successful high-speed thermography – from optimized image processing to camera technology. Learn what really matters in dynamic thermal imaging.
