NIR Sensors use Near Infrared energy to make direct measurements of specific constituents or components of products during processing. They operate on the principal that certain wavelengths of NIR energy are selectively absorbed by these constituents.
NDC Infrared Engineering manufactures a whole range of NIR Sensors which use three principle configurations:
Each configuration lends itself to particular products to offer a no-compromise measurement solution.
The advantage of NIR measurement technology is that it is completely safe, with extremely low energy levels in a safe area of the electromagnetic spectrum. This means that no special industrial shielding is required nor any licensing or special safety training for operators.
ALTAIR LI is an advanced system which use an infrared focal plane array professional camera, capable of producing non contact stress images of structures and materials under cyclic loading. ALTAIR LI uses the thermoelasticity principle together with an highly sensitive infrared focal plane array camera and state of the art digital processing electronics.
