FLIR的历史

　　FLIR成立于1978年，开创并发展了机载领域的高性能、低成本红外成像系统。红外成像系统可以探测所有被人类、物体、材料所发射的红外能量。红外热像仪可以让操作者在完全漆黑的环境中或恶劣的天气条件下透过烟雾或者浓雾清楚的看见目标物体。

　　将近80年代末，凭借红外成像技术的多年经验，FLIR开始向不仅要求优质图像质量，还要求精确测温的商业领域推出手持式和实验室红外成像系统。1990年，并购了工业红外成像公司Hughes Aircraft Co.

　　1997年并购了瑞典的Agema公司，1999年收购了美国的Inframetrics公司，这使FLIR公司拥有了强大的技术开发和销售队伍。FLIR、Agema和Inframetrics代表了红外热像仪产品60多年的重要发展历程和先进技术水平。Agema公司（原来的AGA公司）于1965年推出了第一台用于电力线路检测的商用红外扫描系统。作为检测领域的红外热像仪先驱，，Agema公司的其他显著成就还包括：1973年推出了第一台用于工 业检测的电池供电型便携式扫描仪；1978年为科研领域开发了第一台能够实时模拟记录热事件的双波长扫描仪；1997年推出首台非制冷红外热像仪Agema 570. Inframetrics是商用红热像仪和红外培训的先驱，1975年推出了第一台与电视兼容的红外成像系统；1995年推出了第一台摄象机大小的焦平面（FPA）红外热像仪。这些并购为FLIR带来了绝对积极的影响，因此，FLIR商用红外热像仪的市场占有率位居首位。FLIR的制冷和非制冷ThermaCAM系列红外热像仪已经为红外检测和分析设立了标准，并已成为全球最广泛使用的非接触红外测温系统。

　　FLIR Systems公司目前拥有四家制造工厂：美国FLIR公司有三家工厂位于美国（波特兰、波士顿及加州的圣巴巴拉郡），一家位于瑞典的斯德哥尔摩。FLIR的销售、市场和服务网络已经遍及全球60多个国家，公司总共雇佣了超过1,000名红外专家，随时满足您在红外方面的需求。

FLIR history
FLIR was established in 1978 to pioneer the development of high-performance, low-cost infrared (thermal) imaging systems for airborne applications. Thermal imaging systems detect the infrared energy (heat) that is emitted by all people, objects and materials. Infrared cameras allow the operator to see in total darkness, adverse weather and through such air pollutants as smoke and haze.

Toward the close of the 1980s, FLIR began to leverage its experience in infrared imaging technology to develop hand-held and laboratory systems for a variety of commercial applications that required not only superior image quality, but also the ability to detect and measure temperature differences. This effort accelerated with the acquisition of the industrial infrared imaging group from the Hughes Aircraft Co. in 1990.

The acquisition of Agema (Sweden) in 1998 and of Inframetrics (Boston, MA) in mid-1999 has given FLIR an engineering team and a sales and support infrastructure that are unmatched. Together Agema and Inframetrics represented over 60 years of significant infrared camera development and thermography applications expertise. Agema Infrared Systems, formerly AGA, developed the first commercial infrared scanner, designed for power line inspections, in 1965. Pioneers in the development of infrared cameras for industrial inspection, other notable Agema achievements included the first battery-operated portable infrared scanner in 1973, the first dual-wavelength system capable of real-time analog recording for R&D markets in 1978, and the first uncooled infrared camera, the Agema 570, and 1997. Inframetrics, also a pioneer in commercial infrared cameras and thermography training, developed the first TV-compatible infrared system in 1975 and the first full-featured camcorder-style focal plane array (FPA) infrared camera in 1995. In 2003, FLIR Systems acquired Indigo Systems, a leading developer and supplier of a wide range of infrared imaging products, including cooled and uncooled infrared detectors, camera cores and finished cameras. The fruits of these acquisitions have had an extremely positive impact resulting in FLIR's dominance in the commercial infrared camera market with more infrared cameras sold than any other manufacturer. FLIR's ThermaCAM series of uncooled and cooled thermal imaging cameras have set the standard for thermographic testing and analysis and are the most widely used IR non-contact temperature measurement systems in the world.

Currently, FLIR Systems has manufacturing plants in the USA (Portland, OR; Boston, MA and Goleta, CA and in Stockholm, Sweden. Coupled with a worldwide sales, marketing and service network in over 60 countries, FLIR employs a total over 1300 dedicated infrared specialists, ready to help you with your infrared needs.
