Slow Mo
high speed camera hire

Applications & Clients : Industrial and Diagnostic

 

 

SlowMo is regularly hired to provide high speed images taken in the engineering/science industry. This involves all kinds of product testing and production fault analysis.

Industrial and Diagnostic

Areas include drop tests (fuel tanks, nuclear waste/material containers), product testing (lifeboat design, bullet proofing, deployment) and new innovation (transcalm speed bumps). Images are often recorded over several trials spanning many weeks with important information gathered each time. On the same engineering theme, SlowMo has recorded several pieces for Richard Hammond's Engineering Connections series. A recent project involved filming inside a Wind Tunnel to study air flow of an aircraft.

If there is a problem with your fast moving production line that needs detecting, digital high speed cameras are very effective in determining where the fault lies.

Reduce downtime caused by jams • Improve changeover time • Lower wastage • Reduce maintenance expenses.

A digital high speed camera can capture movement after the event has occurred. It does this by continually buffering images in the camera memory, and then waiting for a trigger signal.

The allocation of available memory can be set to record those movements occurring before this trigger so in essence recording something that just happened. If a failure in the line is imminent then one can arm the camera, wait until a line failure is seen and then press the trigger button. You can then see exactly what may have caused the fault. Answers can be found very quickly when suddenly viewed at high speed.

SlowMo always ensures that the video clips captured can be played back on your computer systems and also provides viewer software further analysis of the clips. The Photron SA-3 was been bought to increase the availability for high speed production line analysis.

Cameras can be hired on weekly basis without an operator. Kit comes complete with laptop, lenses, lights tripod and stands.
