High-Speed LWIR Science-Grade Camera

FLIR X6980-HS SLS™

Model: FLIR X6981-HS SLS (7.5–12 µm), f/2.5 Go to Product Support
product image

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 Streaming

    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.

Never miss crucial data again

Eradicate data loss and dropped frames

Record directly to the removable 4 TB solid-state drive (SSD) for extended periods of time at the fastest frame rate without dropping any frames.

Effortlessly share data

Simplified setup when recording directly to a PC with the latest 10 GigE, CXP 2.1, and CameraLink Full high-speed interfaces.

 

Record high-speed events precisely

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

Analysis software that works the way you work 

FLIR Research Studio

Research Studio provides users with a quick and efficient way to display, record, analyze, and report accurate thermal data. With a streamlined, intuitive GUI and unique feature set, users at all levels can effortlessly record and evaluate thermal data from multiple FLIR cameras and recorded sources simultaneously.
