The Agema Thermovision 470 and 450 model infrared cameras were some of the first commercially available radiometric systems used in industrial applications. These reliable machines have been around for many many years. Now they are only available as used models being long discontinued by FLIR Systems. The 470 and 450 infrared cameras are very large by today’s standards but they do offer some unique features that are hard to find on modern infrared cameras. The units are scanning systems rather than focal plane array thermal imagers. They also operate in the 2-5 micron wavelength range but are still uncooled technology. SPI maintains a very limited supply of 470 systems for rent or sale. Contact us for latest inventory.Screenshot of the 470 thermal imager screen
