Line cameras are fixed cameras for industrial use. Depending on the model, the uncooled microbolometer arrays detect lines of 128 or 246 data points. If measuring moving objects the cameras display the temperature distribution of the surface in two dimensions. Line cameras achieve very fast response times between 128 and 512 lines per second.
Thermal imagers are designed for long-term use in industrial plants for process and quality control. Measuring a lot of different materials in temperature ranges between -20 and 3600°C the cameras are flexible tools. If required the units can be equipped with systems for lens purging and water-cooling.
Depending on the model, the imagers detect the surface temperature of an object with 76,800 or 207,200 pixels and achieve measurement rates between 30 and 60 frames per second.
