FLIR X6980-HS SLS

HIGH-SPEED LWIR SCIENCE-GRADE CAMERA

FLIR X6980-HS SLS™

The FLIR X6980-HS SLS is an extraordinarily fast longwave IR camera designed for scientists and engineers who need to capture high-speed imagery for accurate thermal analysis and custom radiometric measurements. This thermal imaging camera combines 640 × 512 resolution from the SLS detector with the fastest high-speed frame rates to offer the shorter snapshot speeds and wider temperature bands needed to record crisp stop motion images of high-speed events. With a four-position motorized filter wheel and support for FLIR motorized focus lenses, the X6980-HS SLS will provide high quality recordings, save time, and mitigate frustration in dynamic acquisition environments.

FULL FRAME RATE STRAMING

Experience unmatched image clarity and speed with 10 GigE, CXP 2.1 high-speed interfaces or Camera Link Full.

EXTENDED SSD RECORDING

Capture more than 1.5 hours of detailed thermal events directly to a 4 TB SSD with zero dropped frames.

PRECISE TIMING SYSTEM

Proprietary triggering, synchronization, and accurate IRIG time stamping system ensures precise on-time recording.
