Feature of IRT-7X – Fast IR Imaging –

High-Speed Measurement at 160 Hz

The IRT-7X’s high-speed motorized stage and 16-channel linear array detector, combined with FTIR rapid-scan measurements, enable high-speed data acquisition up to 160 Hz.

Advanced Digital Processing for Real-Time Monitoring

Signals from the 16-channel linear array MCT detector are processed simultaneously at each channel using a specially designed parallel circuit. The newly developed, channel-independent auto-gain function optimizes the signal of each channel. This enables faster data acquisition and produces clearer, higher-definition measurement data. Additionally, measurement data is processed in real time using parallel computation, achieving rendering speeds up to 4 times faster than conventional systems and significantly enhancing real-time image rendering.


Applications

Foreign Material Analysis

By dividing the target area into fine sections, the system acquires spectral data and visualizes component distributions using intuitive color coding. This approach enables the clear and precise identification of structural differences in foreign materials that are not detectable by visual inspection.

Visualization of Component Distribution

In material development and evaluation, the ability to visually overlay infrared spectral information, including chemical structure and component distribution, onto sample images allows for more efficient optimization and verification of material properties.
