VarioCAM® HD head 800
Infratec
The worldwide unique infrared camera VarioCAM® HD head 800 with its latest detector technology in XGA format defines the premium segment of uncooled industrial cameras.• Image format: (1,024 × 768) IR pixel
• Recording and storage of IR frames rates with up to 240 Hz
• GigE- and process interface

Unrestricted Operation of the Infrared Camera in Harsh Industrial Environments
The robust light metal housing (protection degree IP67*) provides reliable protection for the high sensitive optronics of the device. In addition, it guarantees trouble-free operation even in harsh industrial environments and keeps constant the excellent optical and metrological performance parameters of the device over a long service life. In this way a long-term and trouble-free operation of the VarioCAM® HD head is guaranteed. The usage of a high-quality LEMO connector technology ensures a high protection degree of the infrared camera even for computer-based network operations. For applications in extreme ambient conditions there are suitable protective housings available, for example made of stainless steel. These are optionally equipped with a cooling, heating or both.
Permanent Autofocus for Optimal Focusing
Constantly changing object scenes require manual or automatic refocusing activated by the user. The integrated permanent autofocus function facilitates this work. In case there is a scene change the camera automatically adopts fast and precise the optimal focusing.
Storage of Fast Infrared Sequences with up to 240 Hz
In case of sudden temperature changes, the infrared camera VarioCAM® High Definition provides a sub-frame modus (“subwindowing”) that is usually only found in cooled infrared cameras. The VarioCAM® HD series allows recording of infrared sequences with frame rates up to 240 Hz. In order to reach such high frame rates, each time a defined section of the detector is being read.
The following frame rates are available:
- Full-frame with(1,024 × 768) IR pixels: 30 Hz
- Sub-frame with (640 × 480) IR pixels: 60 Hz
- Sub-frame with (320 × 240) IR pixels: 120 Hz
- Sub-frame with (1,024 × 96) IR pixels: 240 Hz
