Supply of High-Speed Temperature Field Measurement Camera/Sensor to University of Sheffield

About

The University of Sheffield awarded a contract to The Macintosh Consultancy Ltd (Thermal Vision Research) for the supply of a high-speed temperature field measurement camera/sensor for the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre, Castings Group at Catcliffe, South Yorkshire.

The device, an Infra Red (IR) detector, is required to understand thermal and thermo-mechanical characteristics of high-speed impact, machining, laser ablation, and other highly transient thermal events during the manufacture and testing of next-generation advanced engineering materials including composites and hybrid materials.

It must be capable of high data-capture rates of at least 10kHz under windowed resolution, providing high-resolution, high-fidelity temperature data to measure large thermal gradients and rapid temperature changes.

The contract value is £120,000.
