Teledyne FLIR Expands Lepton Thermal Camera Series with an Ultra-Wide 160-degree Field of View

Lepton UW Represents the Widest Field of View Available for a Micro-Thermal Camera Module

GOLETA, Calif. - October 17, 2023 ― Teledyne FLIR, part of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated, today announced the Lepton UW, the world's first micro-thermal camera module with an ultrawide 160-degree field of view (FOV) that is small enough to fit on the tip of a finger. The new ultra-wide module provides unbeatable size, weight, and performance for applications requiring a wide field of view, including fire detection, process monitoring, and people counting.

Lepton UW features a usable 120 x 120 thermal resolution and a scene dynamic range of up to 400 degrees Celsius. Like the entire Lepton family, it also features unmatched thermal sensitivity of <50 mK and the same integrated digital thermal image signal processing capabilities that have made Lepton the best-selling micro-thermal camera module in the world. Customers will continue to receive Lepton products quickly and efficiently, backed by the world's largest uncooled micro-thermal camera manufacturing capacity, all located in the United States.

"Offering the ultra-wide field of view in such a compact package will enable smart building system integrators to utilize thermal data within more affordable systems and simplify deployment," said Mike Walters, vice president, product management, Teledyne FLIR. "Developers can also leverage the Teledyne FLIR Technical Service Team for assistance along with online resources - from source codes to licenses, to speed the development process."

For people counting, Lepton UW provides a unique dataset that is not susceptible to overcounting through glass while also maintaining personal privacy. When combined with building automation software, the Lepton UW can help facility managers better optimize and automate energy usage, occupant comfort, and workspace management.

Resources for Lepton Customers
As part of Lepton purchases, integrators can leverage the online Lepton integration toolbox with application notes and source code for testing on Windows, Linux, Raspberry Pi, and BeagleBone. The Teledyne FLIR Technical Services Team is also available to support customer licensing of the MyFLIR® application software, MSX®, and Vivid-IRâ„¢ to maximize performance and reduce technical risk.

US Digital's New L2 Low Profile Motor Encoder

US Digital's New L2 Low Profile Motor Encoder

The L2 incremental encoder uses US Digital's proven EM1 optical encoder module and disk, which has billions of device-hours of dependable service in customer applications. This product continues US Digital's strong reputation for reliable, field-tested encoders. The L2 is US Digital's lowest height encoder that uses the EM1 module. It has a 0.75 in. bolt-spacing mount. The maximum resolution is 1250 CPR (5000 PPR with quadrature). The L2 comes with a single-ended output. Another benefit of the L2 incremental encoder is its fast installation. The cover snaps onto the base to secure the module. It is designed for use with a high-retention connector or cable (sold separately). Like all US Digital products, the L2 is designed and manufactured in Vancouver, Washington, USA. It is backed by prompt access to our technical and customer service teams with same-day shipping on most orders.
