Technical Notes: 


The IRT controller is meticulously designed to offer precise control and effortless integration of devices in Infrared Thermographic Testing setups. It serves three main functions:

• It includes an internal voltage generator for resistive loads (typically used for halogen heating) with a stable VAC output. This output can be easily fine-tuned and dimmed to cater to resistive loads, including halogen and IR lamps.


• The control signal outputs of the IRT controller enable efficient management of its internal generator for resistive loads (halogen) or other generators like inductive heating generators, flash heating generators, other connected IRT controllers in series, or any devices that accept 0-5V controls.


• Its capabilities extend to reading and writing on input/output ports, facilitating communication with industrial PLCs and robots. The presence of a router with Ethernet ports ensures concurrent communication between cameras, acquisition PC, and any LAN network.


Practical Examples of IRT Controller Applications:


Utilizing the internal generator for resistive loads (halogen heating):


◦ Initiating lockin modulation with specified durations and frequencies.

◦ Activating step or pulses for designated time intervals.

◦ Exerting control over another IRT controller in slave mode to synchronize and provide additional heating energy when necessary.

◦ Setting the intensity of resistive impedance excitation sources, like halogen/IR lamps, with input voltage fluctuation stabilization (120-240 grid). This can be achieved:

▪ Manually via a knob

▪ Remotely through Telnet commands from any Telnet client

▪ Using an external proportional 0 to 5 V signal.


Controlling a secondary external generator:


◦ Initiating flash pulses through Telnet commands (flash generator required)

◦ Controlling the power of an induction generator through Telnet commands (induction generator required)


Controlling the internal or an external generator:


◦ Simultaneously starting/stopping heating methods and camera acquisitions using Telnet commands. Telnet commands can be programmed using most languages like Matlab or Python.

◦ Creating sequences of functions, such as listening to events on I/O ports to read codes sent by a PLC. Based on the received event and code, the heating can be initiated at a specific power level, followed by camera acquisition and assignment of an identification code to the acquired sequence.

◦ Establishing a connection between the IR camera, the internet, and the acquisition PC through the internal router.

◦ etc.

Real-time Voltage Fluctuation Compensation: The phase shift driver detects voltage variations in the 120-240VAC input. These variations result from both normal power grid fluctuations and local voltage changes due to the starting and stopping of various loads around the IRT controller. When the output power is set to less than 100%, the driver calculates how the phase shift should be adjusted to increase or decrease the output voltage in response to decreases or increases in the input voltage, respectively, in order to maintain constant power output. However, it may not fully compensate for a substantial drop in input voltage. The compensation voltage feature is inactive when the dimmer is set to 100%, so working slightly below this threshold is advisable. Line compensation voltage is particularly interesting for halogen heating, as even minor fluctuations might not be visible to the naked eye but can be detected by the IR camera. These fluctuations degrade the probability of detection (POD) or contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) for potential defects. This becomes even more crucial for line scan applications.




The dimmer was adjusted at 1000W (100% power, with compensation inactive), 900W, 800W, and 700W at 235VAC. The curves illustrate the actual wattage drawn as the voltage varies from 205 to 250VAC


No Hysteresis Effect: Unlike standard dimmers, the phase shift driver does not exhibit a hysteresis effect. When the controller is turned On, then Off, and then On again with a load like a halogen lamp set to low power, it will resume at the same power level as its previous initial On state. This ensures a consistent and controlled power level over time.


Types of Loads to Connect to the Controlled Power Output of the IRT Controller:


Only resistive loads should be connected to the IRT controller's power outputs. Examples of resistive loads include:


    • Infrared lamps

    • Halogen lamps

    • Standard lamps

    • Resistors

    • Conventional heaters

    • Most dipole components with a resistive impedance – i.e. little to no reactive impedance, such as inductors and capacitors.


Temperature Control: The IRT controller is not designed to function as a temperature regulator or thermostat on its own. It does not sense temperature or operate in a closed-loop or feedback control mode. However, if required, end-users can technically achieve this through the I/O ports.

PN# PL-C-V-IN

Description: This induction controller uses eddy current heating for the non-destructive testing of metallic plates by thermography. It is particularly effective at detecting hidden corrosion on the reverse side, or corrosion beneath insulating layers on the front side, by heating the affected area from within. This technology also works on Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) materials.


Specifications: Induction controller/generator and coil

Inductive source 2kW, 240VAC, Power adjustable 20-100% stepless manual or 0-5V control. Frequency adjusted in real time by automatic tracking control. Ultra low inductance coil. Start time < 1 s. Rack mounted, rugged casing



Technical Notes: The induction controller utilizes eddy current heating to warm electrically conductive materials, including steel, stainless steel, titanium, and Inconel (nickel-chrome-based superalloys). It also effectively heats carbon composite materials like CFRP. This internal heating method is ideal for active IRT thermography, enabling the detection of defects such as delaminations, inserts, impacts, and corrosion.


The system will not heat isolating or non-electrically conductive materials like plastic, glass fiber, or wood. Conversely, highly conductive materials such as copper and aluminum will exhibit minimal or no heating due to their low electrical resistance.


The induction system offers versatile control options. Its control signal output can manage additional heating generators (inductive or halogen) in series, or any device accepting 0-5V control signals. It can also be remotely controlled via an external 0-5V signal from a PLC, IRT controller, or signal generator.

Applications of the Induction Controller


Manual Inspection: Heat a conductive plate by manually scanning the coil across the surface


Automated Line Scanning: Integrate with a robot or gantry system for continuous inspection of long samples. 


Synchronized Heating: Control a second induction controller in slave mode to provide additional heating power as needed.


Remote Control (with Halogen IRT Controller): Utilize Telnet commands from any Telnet client to:


  • Start, stop, or adjust heating.
  • Initiate a step or pulse of a specified duration.

PN# PL-S-V-IV


Description and Specifications: 


IR View is an IRT Thermography software for IR acquisition processing and defect enhancement in 8 bits, 16 bits or floating point format. Process records of IR sequences of images. Transformation models (C-Scan, Unwarp, and Polynomial Interpolations). Temporal processing (FFT, PCT, DAC/Extrapolated Contrast, Correlation, RPCT,  Cold Image).  Spatial processing (Median, Gaussian, RMF). Support for multiple native infrared camera formats. Standalone application or integration with Matlab environment. Multi-core CPU support for faster parallel computing. 


Technical Notes


Example of processing: 


IR View is a software designed for browsing and processing infrared sequences of images for non-destructive testing using infrared thermography (IRT). While relatively simple, it is efficient for both basic and advanced IRT tasks. 


The software was originally developed in 1999 for internal use in NDT/IRT research at Laval University in Quebec, Canada, at the MIVIM Laboratory under the direction of Professor Xavier Maldague. 

IR View is compatible with almost any RAM and CPU configuration, but the ability to process larger sequences is highly dependent on the computer's RAM and processing power. While there is no specific limit to the computer's configuration, larger sequence files can consume a significant amount of storage and computational power, both in terms of CPU and RAM. A higher-end configuration is typically more suitable for processing larger sequences. For example, a 24GB RAM, 0.5TB SSD drive, and 6-core CPU-based PC or better is well-suited to process 1GB sequences of IR images. Additionally, IR View uses parallel computing, which means that multicore CPUs (each core with its own separate FPU) provide an interesting advantage.


IR View is a Matlab-based software that is provided in two versions:


  • As a standalone [ *.EXE ] version:        “ir_view_x64.exe”  (Windows only)
  • As a compiled script [ *.P ] version:     “ir_view.p“ (Windows, Linux, Mac)

      

Both versions are identical in functionality, and the only difference lies in the environment in which they run.


  • The standalone version of IR View, denoted by [ *.EXE ] file extension, is designed to function as a standard Windows application without the need for a separate Matlab installation
  • The compiled script version [*.P] is an optional version intended for those who already use or have Matlab installed. Matlab offers extended flexibility and extra processing capabilities on the infrared data, but working with Matlab is not necessary to use the software. This version is mostly of interest to those already familiar with Matlab who prefer to use it as the main environment to work with IR View.


When starting IR View, two panes or windows are displayed as shown above. The left pane displays the IR images or the sequence and processed results. The right pane serves as the IR View control pane.


The control pane is divided into 6 sections, which are the ordered steps through which an image or sequence of images is processed before its output is displayed. These 6 functions are:


  1.  Dataset selector
  2. (X, Y, t) View control
  3. Polynomial Interpolation Models (PIM), C-Scan Models (CMS), and Unwarp models
  4. Temporal processing, taking the time or temperature evolution into consideration
  5. Spatial processing, which only depends on the actual isolated image
  6. Colormap to dynamic range


The six functions in the control pane are performed in this specific order from 1 to 6. It means that changes made to options in a given step affect all steps below but not those above. 


The current formats implemented and recognized are:


'*.irb',    'Jenoptik (*.irb)'; 

'*.mat',    'Matlab MAT-files (*.mat)'; 

'*.tif',    'Multiframe TIFF (*.tif)';   

'*.hcc',    'Telops (*.hcc)';  

'*.sfmov',    'FLIR (*.sfmov)';  

'*.ravi',    'Micro-Epsilon | Optris (*.ravi)';

'*.seq',    'FLIR (*.seq)';   

'*.fcf',    'FLIR (*.fcf)';      

'*.csv',    'Comma-Separated Values (*.csv)';

'*.txt',    'Separated Values with any delimiter (*.txt)';   

'*.ats',    'FLIR (*.ats)';

'*.csq',    'FLIR (*.csq)';

'*.jpg',    'FLIR (*.jpg)';

'*.xvi',    'Xenics (*.xvi)';

PN# PL-S-V-IS


Description: IR Stitch is a software solution for stitching together infrared (IR) tiles or bands, typically acquired using the software 'IRT Bot'. It’s designed for cases where a part is too large or complex to be inspected in a single scan.


Technical Notes: For parts exceeding the inspection area, multiple sections or tiles are acquired. IR Stitch software assembles these tiles – whether processed or raw – in the native 16-bit format to create a complete image of the entire part. Individual tiles can be independently rescaled along the X or Y axis to correct image ratios, rotated from 0 to 360 degrees, and positioned along the X and Y axes within the global plane for accurate recomposition. The initial stitching process is performed manually, then the configuration (scales, angles, position) can be saved and reapplied to subsequent tile sets from other similar inspections. IR Stitch offers both a graphical user interface (GUI) and command-line operation for automated image recomposition. It is commonly used in conjunction with IRT Bot software for automated or robotic inspections.

PN# PL-S-V-IB


Description: IRT-Bot is software that manages automated inspections by acquiring and collecting data. It processes this data and can utilize IR View for image and sequences processing. Additionally, IRT-Bot adjusts heating power (halogen or inductive) and recomposes images using IR Stitch (optional).


Technical Note: Automated inspections utilize an actuator – such as a gantry, conveyor, CNC machine, or robot – to move either the IRT system or the part being inspected. A Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) transmits the part number and position data to the IRT (halogen) Controller via I/O ports. IRT Bot connects to the IRT Controller via TCP/IP and monitors PLC signals from the actuator. It initiates and stops data acquisition, adjusts heating power as needed, processes the data, and recomposes images from multiple tiles or bands with IR Stitch.

Typically used in conjunction with IR Stitch, IR View, Linescan Head, and IRT Controller

Technical notes:


An Inspection Reference Panel (IRP), sometimes also called a Reference Coupon or Calibration Panel, is a standardized sample used for nondestructive testing (NDT) of composite materials, particularly in infrared thermography and other inspection methods. It contains known, arbitrary, and verified defects with precise CAD design and clear specifications in size and depth, positioned at known locations. These defects are typically validated and certified by the IRP manufacturer.


Purpose of an IRP:


  • Calibration & Validation: Ensures that inspection equipment and methods provide expected accurate and repeatable results.
  • Defect Detection Benchmark: Contains predefined defects (e.g., delaminations, voids, inclusions) to verify the effectiveness of an inspection system.
  • Training & Certification: Used to train inspectors and certify their ability to detect defects in composites.
  • NDT Method Comparison: IRPs are sometimes used to compare different NDT methods to evaluate their relative effectiveness for a specific given case.
  • Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) & Contrast-to-Noise Ratio (CNR) Evaluation: IRPs allow for the assessment of the signal or contrast levels obtained with an NDT method over a given type of defect.
  • Probability of Detection (POD) Calculation: IRPs can be used in statistical studies to determine the likelihood of detecting defects under specific inspection conditions.
  • Critical Inspection Assurance: Used in critical inspections to verify that the NDT equipment functions correctly before starting a new inspection, ensuring reliability and accuracy in high-stakes applications.


Common Features of an IRP:


  • Made from composite laminates (e.g., carbon fiber, fiberglass, honeycomb structures).
  • Embedded artificial defects (e.g., Teflon inserts, air gaps, flat-bottom holes or FBH, etc.) at various depths.
  • Used in active thermography, ultrasonic testing, and shearography
