The mobile system for synchronized fast digital recording of transients is intended for advanced digital visualization of extremely fast transients, such as impact deformation of materials, vortexing and cavitation, injection molding, brittle fractures, rapid crack growth, effects of explosions or projectiles, etc.

Analysis of images of such phenomena with ultra-high-speed cameras (2 million frames per second) provides a better understanding of the basic physical laws of these phenomena and contributes to improving the composition of materials, structures or processes in engineering and beyond. In cooperation with the Slovenian company DEWESoft, a unique integrated measuring system for stereo-optical high-speed digital recording of transients was developed, based on two PHOTRON FASTCAM SA-Z high-speed cameras connected to the high-performance measuring system DEWESoft SIRIUSi HS 8x STG + software support for data acquisition and analysis PHOTRON FASTCAM VIEWER 4 (PFV4) and DEWESOFT-X-PROF.

The mobile system for synchronized fast digital recording of transients includes integrated equipment consisting of:

  1. Main Equipment: two identical digital cameras PHOTRON FASTCAM SA-Z type 2100K-M-128GB with ultra-high recording speed up to 2.1 million images / sec with exceptional light sensitivity ISO 50,000 (two-color 12-bit) and excellent image quality 1,024 x 1,024 pixels) built-in 1: 1 CMOS sensor with extremely short aperture time of 159 ns, connected to the DEWESoft SIRIUSi HS 8x STG + multi-channel digital and analog measurement data acquisition system with a sampling frequency of 1 MHz and appropriate software support for capture and analysis data. PHOTRON FASTCAM VIEWER 4 (PFV4) and DEWESOFT-X-PROF.
  2. Additional Equipment: Canon EOS R Digital High Definition Camera with accessories, interchangeable high quality camera and camera lenses (35mm, 50mm, 85mm, 135mm, zoom 24-105mm, 70-200mm) with filters, multi-axis fine mounts adjustable camera heads, integrated GSVITEC flat panel and PHOTONIC point high performance LED sources.

Mobile system for synchronized fast digital recording of transients, which includes:

  • 2x fast camera PHOTRON FASTCAM SA-Z type 2100K-M-128GB with accessories,
  • measuring system DEWESoft SIRIUSi HS 8x STG +,
  • Canon EOS R Digital High Definition Camera with Accessories
  • integrated GSVITEC system for high-performance surface LED lighting,
  • integrated PHOTONIC system for high-performance endoscopic LED lighting.
