Nippon Avionics Co., Ltd. releases “InfReC R450 series”,
a versatile infrared thermography camera
which is useful in wide variety of scenes
Nippon Avionics Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinagawa-ku , Tokyo. President: Katsuhiko Akitsu)
will release “InfReC R450 series (hereinafter “Product”)”, a versatile thermography camera(hereinafter “IR Thermography”) which is useful from structures diagnosis to micro component.

R450 series
In recent years, application of IR Thermography is expanding to include search in disaster areaand access control of staffs under HACCAP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point =international standard for maintenance of food safety) regulations for staff’s physical condition
control. Furthermore, increase of demand for IR Thermography is expected in connection with theenhancement of preventive action against pandemic at airports.
In the area of diagnosis of structures, including buildings, too, Ministry of Land, Infrastructure,
Transport and Tourism is considering the use of IR Thermography for inspection of bridges andtunnels under the supervision of central and local governments. By changing the method ofinspection from visual to IR Thermography, improvement of work efficiency, safety and defectdetection ratio is expected to improve which contributes to cost reduction.

Because Product can clearly distinguish minute temperature difference by high resolution of
480x360 pixels and 0.87mrad spatial resolution, defect detection ratio can be improved ininspection of buildings, bridges and other structures. In addition to that, Product is equipped with adisplay mode whereby visible image and thermal image can be compared which enables easy
identification of defect spot. Furthermore, by employment of an angle adjustable viewfinder to avoid
difficult-to-see monitor screen due to reflection of sunlight, which is often a problem when working
outdoor, measurement and observation can be made more comfortably.
On top of that, we are offering a model in the InfReC 450 series which is capable of measu ringfrom low temperature to high temperature continuously at a frame rate of 40Hz. As a result, InfReC
450 series is an IR Thermography which can be used not only for inspection of road and otherinfrastructures but also for wide fields of applications including facility maintenance, research anddevelopment, quality control, medical research and screening of people with high fever.
Nippon Avionics is determined to continue satisfying various requirements of society by offering“IR Thermography of high image quality and high functionality at reasonable price”.
■ Major characteristics
1. Two models are available for different applications.
A model most suitable for your application can be selected out of the following three models.
◆R450: Measurable temperature range is -40~+650℃.
By raising the upper limit of measurable temperature range to +650 ℃ from theconventional 500℃, this model can be used for evaluation test/operation of heat
resistant paint (mostly resistant to 600℃) or high temperature heater (used in therange of 500~600 ℃). Furthermore, this model is also suitable for inspection ofhighly elevated electric facility or plant piping.

◆R450Pro : Full function model for R&D.
Measurable temperature range is -40~+1500℃.
This model is suitable for R&D field where measurement is made in time-series
or analysis of heat accumulation or heat dissipation process during welding wherean object of room temperature is heated and continuous change of temperature isobserved.

2. Defect detection ratio is improved by high basic functions and high resolution due toSuper Resolution Processing.
Minimal temperature difference is clearly displayed by 480(H) x 360(V) pixels and hightemperature resolution of 0.025℃. Furthermore, defect detection accuracy in inspection ofstructures, such as buildings, roads and bridges, is enhanced by enhancement of resolution to960(H) x 720(V) pixels equivalent level in super resolution mode. In addition, image synthesis
mode and parallel display mode, where visible image of 5 million pixels and thermal image canbe easily compared, help easy identification of defective spot.
◆Detector Pixels
Super resolution mode: 960(H) x 720(V)Standard mode: 480(H) x 360(V)◆Spatial resolution
Super resolution mode: 0.58mrad
Standard mode: 0.87mrad

3. Viewfinder indispensable for outdoor observation.
In outdoor observation, the screen becomes difficult to see due to the sunlight reflection onthe LCD monitor. Angle adjustable viewfinder makes the observation comfortable.

4. Multi-angle monitor which enables measurement in your relaxed posture.
LCD monitor with a tilt mechanism enables photographing in a free angle from the top to thebottom while you are taking a relaxed posture.

5. Measurable temperature range of 100℃～1500℃ is realized, which enables
measurement of continuous temperature change without changing the measuring
range. (R450Pro)
Comparing to our conventional products, dynamic range is expanded and SN ratio is
improved, enabling continuous measurement of temperature change from 100 ℃ to 1500℃.
As a result, continuous data in heating or heat dissipation process can be obtained andanalyzed.

6. External trigger recording enables auto moving image recording to a PC. (R450Pro)
Auto recording can be made to a PC by entering an external trigger signal. Because a system
can be configured without using an I/O device, data recording in linkage to a test equipment ora factory floor facility can be made. It is most suitable for temperature monitoring in p roductionlines, such as the metal mold monitoring.

7. Three types of lens option.
We are offering 2x telephoto lens, 2x wide field-of-view lens and 52μm close up magnificationlens for the following applications.
・2x telephoto lens: Inspection of highly elevated electric facility or plant piping.
・2x wide field-of-view lens: Separation diagnosis of bridges, concrete structures or external
walls of buildings.
・52μm close up magnification lens: Thermal analysis of miniature componen ts.
