FLIR High Definition LWIR Science-Grade Camera FLIR X8580 SLS™

The FLIR X8580 SLS is a high-speed, high-definition mid-wave IR camera with a resolution of 1280 × 1024, designed for scientists and engineers. It allows users to capture detailed imagery of fast events for accurate thermal analysis, perform custom radiometric measurements, or identify points of failure in composites, solar cells, and electronics. It's also invaluable for thermal mapping in hypervelocity impact testing and other materials research.

Like the entire FLIR X-Series camera range, the X8580 offers advanced recording, triggering, and synchronisation capabilities, making it simple to configure and integrate for demanding applications. With a four-position motorised filter wheel and support for FLIR motorised focus lenses, the X8580 SLS ensures higher-quality recordings, saves time, and reduces frustration in dynamic acquisition environments. Additionally, by combining HD resolution with high-speed frame rates, this camera enables researchers to capture detailed images of the scene and stop-motion high-speed events, whether in the lab or on the test range.

HIGH RESOLUTION, HIGH SENSITIVITY

• Obtain clear thermal images, even at high speeds
• Detect minute temperature differences with minimal noise
• Capture full 1280 × 1024 pixel resolution data at speeds of up to 181 Hz or up to 6,000 Hz in subwindow mode
• Ensure clear images by remotely adjusting focus using FLIR motorised lenses

ON-CAMERA RAM/SSD RECORDING

• Directly record critical thermal data to on-camera memory
• Save up to 34 seconds of full HD resolution data to on-camera RAM without any dropped frames
• Record up to 15 minutes of 1280 × 1024 resolution data at 181 Hz directly to the included 512 GB SSD
• Remotely playback and transfer recorded data directly from the SSD over GigE, Camera Link, or CXP
• Rapidly remove sensitive data from the camera with hot-swappable SSD

SYNCHRONISATION AND TRIGGERING

• Capture essential imagery by synchronising with external events or instrumentation
• Initiate on-camera data recordings using an external record trigger or specific IRIG-B time
• Precisely control when an image frame is generated or synchronise it with other equipment
• Align image capture times with other data using TSPI-accurate IRIG-B time stamping

MULTIPLE SOFTWARE INTERFACES

• View, record, analyse, and share significant thermal data
• Stream thermal data directly to a computer running Windows®, MacOS®, or Linux®
• Make crucial decisions swiftly using FLIR Research Studio’s advanced analysis capabilities
