Test stand

The test stand for active infrared thermal imaging enables both reflection and transmission methods to be used. On the work table (Fig. 1.), made of V-slot aluminium profiles, there is a thermal excitation source (Fig. 2.) on one side and, opposite to it, a place for mounting specimens (Fig. 3). Depending on the method used, the stand allows the measuring apparatus (Fig. 4) to be placed in front of or behind the sample under test. The use of a movable trolley with a specimen holder allows the distance from both the thermal forcing source and the measuring apparatus to be varied.
