  • Teledyne FLIR Unveils Radiometric Vue TZ20-R Thermal Zoom Drone Payload

    Teledyne FLIR made available today the FLIR Vue® TZ20-R, a high resolution, thermal zoom gimbal, purpose-built for the DJI® V2 Matrice 200 Series and Matrice 300 airframes and includes radiometry to measure the temperature of every pixel in the scene. Featuring two 640x512 resolution FLIR Boson® thermal camera modules, with one providing a narrow-field-of-view (18 degrees) and the other a wide-field-of-view (95 degrees), the Vue TZ20-R provides even greater situational awareness, accuracy, and context by offering more pixels on target with the corresponding temperature data.

  • FLIR VS290-32 Videoscope Improves Safety for High Voltage Technicians at the University of Kentucky

    In December 2020, a failure in an underground electrical cable on the University of Kentucky campus caused an explosion, filling the manhole with smoke and fumes. Luckily, no one was in the vault at the time, but the team of campus electricians decided they’d rather not rely on luck in the future. They looked into possible solutions to help detect failures before they became critical, and discovered the FLIR VS290-32 thermal and visual videoscope.

  • FLIR MUVE C360 Protects First Responders From a Wide Range of Hazards

    First responders on a site after an accident or potential gas leak face a multitude of dangers. Is the air safe to breath? Are gasses on-scene creating the threat of an imminent explosion? Sending in an unmanned gas detector helps eliminate the risk to emergency responders, industrial safety officers, and environmental monitoring experts on the scene. The FLIR MUVE™C360 is a multi-gas detector that integrates with an unmanned aerial system (UAS) or other platform to provide real-time continuous monitoring of chemical hazards while on the move. While the primary use-cases for the C360 are oil and gas field monitoring and hazmat response, there are a variety of scenarios where sending in an unmanned system first can help protect personnel and deliver real-time data.

  • FLIR Receives Orders from US Military Worth More than $70M for Centaur Unmanned Ground Vehicles

    FLIR Systems, Inc. announced that it has received more than $70 million in new orders for its advanced ground robots from the U.S. Armed Services. The U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps placed orders for nearly 600 FLIR Centaur® robots, including additional spares, antennas, and payload mounting kits. As a result, the U.S. Army awarded FLIR a $31.6 million contract increase for its Man Transportable Robot System Increment II (MTRS Inc. II) program. The new award raises the ceiling value of the original MTRS Inc. II contract from roughly $158 million to $190 million.

  • FLIR A50 and A70 Thermal Cameras Offer Turnkey Solutions for Efficient Data Analysis

    When decision makers seek to integrate new hardware into their automation process, they are often looking at a few key areas – the ease of use, price point, features, and the ability to utilize the hardware at multiple points throughout their system. The new A50 and A70 thermal cameras come in three options – Smart, Streaming, and Research & Development to fit the needs of professionals across a variety of industries – from manufacturing to utilities to science.  The new cameras offer improved accuracy of ±2°C or ±2% temperature measurement, compared to the previous accuracy of ±5°C, or ±5% temperature measurement. The cameras all include an IP66 rating, along with a small, compact size with higher resolution options compared to previous versions.

  • What are IR Camera Lenses Made Of?

    IR camera lenses are made out of germanium, a semi-metallic element. But why use this specialized element instead of a more common substance like glass? This article explains why germanium is used to make IR camera lenses.

  • Watertown Public Library Lends out FLIR C5 to Patrons

    The Watertown Free Public Library in Massachusetts recently launched a “Library of Things” lending program—a collection of non-traditional library materials that can be checked out for a week just like a book or a DVD. Among the collection is a FLIR C5, a handheld thermal imaging camera that patrons can use for a variety of home and DIY applications.

  • Unmatched Maritime Awareness with Cooled Thermal Imaging

    Thermal imaging is a longstanding tool for improved marine awareness. Its ability to detect vessels, objects, and body heat in complete darkness and through atmospheric obscurants allows safer, 24/7 navigation. Not all thermal cameras are created equal, variables such as sensor resolution, lens size, and whether the camera is cooled or uncooled influence the image’s clarity and range.
