Teledyne FLIR unveils MIX camera kits with synchronized thermal and visible light imagery for engineers and researchers

Teledyne FLIR has launched two MIX multispectral camera kits for use by engineers and researchers in investigating the thermal performance of products under development. Both kits are available today, with pricing provided upon request.

The A-series kit uses A67xx thermal imaging cameras with a 2,448 × 2,048-pixel visible light camera. The X-series kit uses X69xx thermal imaging cameras with a 1,920 x 1,080-pixel visible light camera. The thermal cameras have a resolution of 640 × 512 pixels.

The A-series is designed for detailed imaging of electronics and battery systems where many components are mounted close together. The X-series is designed for high-speed engineering, such as airbag design and ballistic analysis, where a maximum frame rate of 1,004 frames per second is needed.

The optical camera and thermal camera images are automatically aligned and combined in real-time, eliminating the hassles of doing so by hand. The optical image details enhance the ability to see fine details in the thermal image, speeding up the collection and analysis of thermal data for products under development.

Readers interested in buying an affordable multispectral camera can look into the FLIR One Edge Pro (sold here on Amazon). This model uses a 160 x 120-pixel thermal camera with the user's smartphone camera. This model can be used to perform home energy audits to save on heating and cooling costs.
