High-Performance FAST Cameras


The Telops FAST camera series feature the fastest infrared cameras on the market. Available from the shortwave to the very long wave infrared bands, these cameras can address a broad range of measurement needs and applications.

With their high sensitivity, their impressive temporal resolution and their proprietary automated exposure control (AEC), the FAST cameras are perfect for analyzing dynamic events, as in ballistics, combustion or experimental mechanics experiments.

The FAST cameras are also available in HD or Super HD formats in the midwave bands to provide high image quality.

APPLICATIONS

Railway Inspection

Joowon Industrial in Korea uses multiple FAST cameras to observe hot spots on rails in order to prevent accidents

Combustion Analysis

Here you can see the injection process in a Diesel-fuel engine supplied with a premixed methane-air charge.

Cell Phone Button

This crisp image of an iPhone's print ID button was taken with a FAST HD camera equipped with a G1x lens.

Hopkinson-Bar

In this other classic experimental mechanics test, a sample is compressed using a Split-Hopkinson Bar to study its resistance and behavior when subjected to a shock.

In collaboration with Structural Impact Laboratory (SIMLab) of the NTNU.

Heat Transfer

In this video, a high speed heat transfer measurement experiment is carried out between a falling droplet and a metallic surface stabilized at 0degC. A FAST M3K was used with a G1x microscope lens.
