InfraTec offers a broad range of thermography solutions for most demanding testing and measurement tasks
Electronic elements are becoming more complex, more powerful and smaller in shorter development time. Therefore, it is crucial to keep your product development and quality control on the same high level. InfraTec offers high-performance infrared camera systems that enable applications ranging from simulation, testing prototypes and process optimization to quality assurance.
Since assemblies often operate with low electrical power, temperature changes are also very small. Methods of active heat flow thermography are, if the circumstances so require, necessary for measurements. Infrared camera systems by InfraTec provide the possibility to detect abnormal thermal behaviour via lock-in thermography on a PCB surface, in IC’s, stacked-die packages and multi-chip modules. This helps you to determine smallest defects like point and line shunts, oxide failures, transistor and diode failures – whether you are testing in-line during the manufacturing process or in laboratory.
Use the Right Software
Temperature differences in defective and intact structures often account for only a few milli- and microkelvin. Thermography software IRBIS® 3 active is a sufficient tool for such ambitious material testing. It supports lock-in thermography with active electrical excitation of corresponding testing objects for the detection of defects and provides crucial benefit to your entire manufacturing chain. The software enables analysis with different active thermography methods. It offers superimposition of different views at the pixel level to pinpoint abnormalities at their location successfully and precisely. To gain more detailed information you can use high-frequency excitation during your measurements. Users can easily save, neatly organize and quickly retrieve various parameter settings, which provides a convenient operation of IRBIS® 3 active in daily life.
Add the Right Camera
Performing lock-in thermography you can select from a wide range of infrared camera systems. With a thermal resolution up to <0.015 K, the camera series ImageIR® offers perfect conditions for contactless and non-destructive measurement of temperature distribution on complex electronic assemblies and components. The top model of this series, the ImageIR® 10300, comes with a detector format of (1,920 × 1,536) IR pixels and sets new standards in geometric resolution worldwide. This camera provides Full HD images that come amazingly close to the image quality of photos. Combined with high-speed precision close-up lenses of different magnification factors, the ImageIR® 10300 and the complete camera series show their full potential. Using an 8× microscopic lens, for example, high-resolution detail shots can be produced with a pixel size down to 1.3 µm.
Superior HD-resolution Thermography Fixed Mounted Cameras with Uncooled Detectors
For those who prefer an uncooled microbolometer camera, the VarioCAM® HD head and the VarioCAM® HDx head are the right choice. Robust and extremely versatile, these camera models deliver outstanding image quality. The VarioCAM® HD head impresses with the highest geometrical resolution of its camera class. Uncooled detectors offer formats up to (1,024 × 768) IR pixels. By using InfraTec’s unique optomechanical real-time MicroScan unit up to (2,048 x 1,536) IR pixels can be achieved. They show real temperature values but not interpolated pixels. This qualifies perfectly for measuring the smallest defects on various measurement objects. Designed for continuous operation, the MicroScan technology suits for laboratory and in-line applications.
