Infrared Thermometer:

Infrared Sensor:

  • The most crucial component, it detects and captures the infrared radiation emitted by an object. Our sensor converts the infrared radiation into an electrical signal.

Optical System:

  • It consists of lenses and filters to focus and filter the infrared radiation before it reaches the sensor. This helps to improve accuracy and eliminate interference from ambient radiation.

Microprocessor/Controller:

  • Processes the electrical signal from the infrared sensor and converts it into a temperature reading. It may also handle calibration, data storage, and user interface functions.

Display:

  • GAO Tek shows the temperature reading to the user. This can be an LCD or LED display.

Power Supply:

  • Typically powered by batteries, although some models may have an external power source. Efficient power management is crucial for battery-operated devices.

User Interface:

  • GAO Tek’s buttons or a touch interface allow users to control settings, switch between modes, and perform calibration if necessary.

Temperature Calibration Components:

  • Some of our infrared thermometers have components for calibration to ensure accurate temperature readings.

Infrared Camera:

Infrared Detector Array:

  • Instead of a single sensor, infrared cameras use an array of infrared detectors to capture a thermal image. Common types include microbolometer arrays.

Lens System:

  • A more complex lens system than in a thermometer, designed to focus the infrared radiation onto the detector array. 

Electronic Circuitry:

  • Amplifies and processes the signals from the detector array. The circuitry is responsible for creating a thermal image.

Image Processor:

  • We handle the data from the detector array to create a visual representation of the temperature distribution. Advanced algorithms may be used for image enhancement.

Display Unit:

  • Displays the thermal image or a combination of thermal and visible light images. This can be an LCD or other types of displays.

User Interface:

  • Similar to that of an infrared thermometer, allowing users to control settings, switch between modes, and analyze captured images.

Storage and Connectivity:

  • Some cameras have internal storage or the ability to connect to external devices for data transfer. This is important for capturing and analyzing thermal images.

Power Supply:

  • Typically powered by batteries or an external power source.

Housing and Mechanical Components:

  • The outer casing, buttons, and other mechanical components provide the physical structure and user interface for the camera.

Cooling System (for some high-end cameras):

  • Some high-performance infrared cameras may include a cooling system to enhance the sensitivity and accuracy of the detectors.
