FLIR A50/A70 Research & Development Kits

Fixed-Mount Thermal Camera

FLIR A50/A70 Research & Development Kits are affordable, ready-to-use solutions for thermal imaging analysis in proof-of-concept electronics testing and R&D applications. Providing thousands of temperature measurement points, users can eliminate thermal guesswork, reduce product development time, and increase product efficiency and reliability. These kits are the right choice for engineers and technicians who need to fully understand the thermal profiles of their systems or require defensible thermal data to support critical decisions. Users can quickly view, record, analyze and share thermal data with the included FLIR Research Studio software or take advantage of industry-standard connections to integrate into custom software applications when needed.

Affordable, ready-to-use solution for thermal imaging analysis in proof-of-concept electronics testing and R&D.
Quickly reveal thermal characteristics to eliminate guesswork and reduce product development time with up to 640 × 480 (307,200 pixels) thermal resolution, ±2°C accuracy, and a built-in visible camera with MSX®.
Start testing sooner with limited ramp-up time and simple non-proprietary industry standard interfaces; perform qualitative and quantitative thermal analysis with the included FLIR Research Studio software (1 year license included).
Easily install the IP66 rated camera with M-style connectors in any location; transition from design and testing to process control using GigE Vision and GenICam protocols.
