10Hz-class modulation from a 3kW halogen source.
Visible-spectrum mapping extracts local illumination timing directly from the surface.
IR imaging measures heat diffusion through coatings, layers, and discontinuities.
Thermal response phase is corrected against local illumination timing to isolate material properties.
Target depth tuning. Multi-frequency phase analysis.
Thermal wave penetration depth is governed by excitation frequency. Lower frequencies probe deeper layers, while higher frequencies emphasize shallow coating response.
Multi-frequency modulation enables comprehensive analysis across complex multilayers and supports quantitative thickness evaluation.
Field-ready integration. Engineered for automated inspection.
Capture control, synchronized imaging, phase correction, and post-processing run inside the module. PhaseTrace integrates with stands, cobot arms, gantries, or rails without an external PC stack.
