FLIR A50/A70 Research & Development Kits are affordable, ready-to-use solutions for thermal imaging analysis in proof-of-concept electronics testing and R&D applications. Providing thousands of temperature measurement points, users can eliminate thermal guesswork, reduce product development time, and increase product efficiency and reliability. These kits are the right choice for engineers and technicians who need to fully understand their systems’ thermal profiles or require defensible thermal data to support critical decisions. Users can quickly view, record, analyze and share thermal data with the included FLIR Research Studio software or take advantage of industry-standard connections to integrate into custom software applications when needed.

IMPROVE EFFICIENCY

Quickly reveal thermal characteristics to eliminate guesswork and reduce product development time •Accurately measure temperatures with up to 307,200 thermal measurement pixels (640 × 480 resolution) and ±2°C accuracy •Reveal unknown thermal anomalies faster with quality infrared imagery •Easily differentiate between features and components with the built-in visible camera •Enhance understanding of infrared image data using

FLIR MSX® CAPTURE MEANINGFUL DATA QUICKLY

Start testing sooner with limited ramp-up time and simple non-proprietary industry standard interfaces •Stream full radiometric image data using standard Gigabit Ethernet or Wi-Fi connections •Perform qualitative and quantitative thermal analysis with the included FLIR Research Studio software •Quickly view, record, analyze and share important thermal data across multiple platforms and languages •Compare and examine thermal data simultaneously from multiple connected cameras and recorded data files

RUGGED, COMPACT, AND FLEXIBLE

Meet the demands of multiple application environments and installations •Ensure operation in tough environments thanks to rugged M-style connectors and standard IP66 protection •Easily install this compact camera in any location, with multiple mounting options •Eliminate the need for multiple cables using Power over Ethernet and included Wi-Fi connectivity •Transition from design and testing in the lab to process control in production using non-proprietary GigE Vision and GenICam protocols, as well as SDKs
