FLIR A6301
Advanced Thermal Camera for 24/7 Process Monitoring and Quality Control
Product Variations
FLIR A6301 Advanced Thermal Camera offer engineers and system integrators the best and most advanced thermal camera for Process Control, Monitoring and Quality Assurance. Its industry-leading 27,000-hour cryocooler lifetime maximizes camera uptime for consistent production throughput, while minimizing cost through planned maintenance. Its fast integration times improves yield, through-put time, costs, while ensuring consistent quality. This cooled camera platform provides a streamlined solution for accurate temperature measurement. The Standard kit includes a FLIR A6301 Advanced Thermal Camera, accessories, and 17 mm, 24 mm, or 50 mm lens.
A highly sensitive, cooled MWIR sensor allows the camera to more accurately spot defects, increasing product quality. Industry-leading 27,000-hour cryocooler lifetime maximizes camera uptime for consistent production throughput.
Fast integration times ensure accurate temperature measurements on moving products and production lines. Low-latency, deterministic synchronization to external sources means thermal images are captured precisely when needed for decision support.
Standard GigE Vision protocols, Rest API and a built-in web interfaces shorten implementation timelines.
