IRCOL 600/ 6000
IRCOL COLLIMATOR: The largest test bench ever created
IRCOL 600/6000 for very long focal length camera testing
Our IRCOL collimators are designed for the characterization and the performance validation of visible cameras, IR cameras, night vision cameras, goggles, NIR, SWIR, MWIR, LWIR imagers or even laser rangefinders. The IRCOL 600/6000 is the largest test bench to test very long focal length Infrared and Visible cameras.
An electro-optical testing system with unequalled level of performance
We achieved a major challenge developing and manufacturing the largest collimator on the market, allowing to:
– Test very long focal length visible & infrared cameras
– Simulate spatial frequencies up to 50 cy/mrad
– Evaluate performances of wide aperture cameras or multi spectral sensors
The IRCOL 600/6000 is suitable with the most effective electro-optical systems on the market, with the highest resolution.
IRCOL Collimator: A robust, quality system
According to Catherine Barrat, Head of Test & Measurement at HGH, “The unit is made of very high quality optical components, with exceptional sizes and weights: our technical team has successfully completed the challenge of integrating them, imparting excellent optical properties to a rather compact structure.”
Such quality components must be handled with care: This collimator is not only the largest on the market of very long focal length camera testing, it also has the most robust mechanical structure. Optical components are secured, and an optimal protection for shipment is ensured.
