High-Speed Camera HPV-X

Shimadzu’s HPV-X high-speed camera is one of the most powerful tools for analyzing ultrafast movements. It allows for the capture and analysis of extremely rapid processes that are invisible to the human eye with stunning detail. Whether in materials research, the automotive industry, or biomechanics, the HPV-X provides invaluable data that helps understand processes better and optimize products.

How Does the HPV-X High-Speed Camera Work?

The HPV-X utilizes specialized image sensor technology to record movements with incredible speed. It can capture millions of images per second, with a resolution that reveals even the smallest details. With recording speeds of up to 10 million frames per second and an extremely short shutter time, it is perfectly suited for capturing ultradynamic processes, such as:

  • Fracture Processes: Analyzing fracture and failure mechanisms in materials.
  • Combustion Processes: Studying explosive events in engine and fuel research.
  • Impact and Collision Tests: Precisely capturing deformations and vibrations during crash tests or other dynamic loading scenarios.

 

Key Features of the HPV-X:

The HPV-X is equipped with numerous technical features that make it an essential tool in motion analysis:

  • Ultra-High Frame Rate: With up to 10 million frames per second, the camera can record and analyze even the fastest processes in real-time. This allows capturing phenomena that occur in fractions of a millisecond, such as cracks in materials or shock waves.
  • High Resolution: Despite its enormous frame rate, the HPV-X delivers sharp, detailed images. The combination of high speed and resolution makes it ideal for demanding applications where both speed and precision are required.
  • Shortest Shutter Times: Thanks to shutter times as short as 50 nanoseconds, even the fastest movements can be recorded without motion blur. This is crucial for conducting accurate analyses and enabling precise measurements.

 

Key Why is the HPV-X Important?

The HPV-X high-speed camera enables researchers and engineers to understand dynamic processes that were previously difficult or impossible to measure. In materials research, it allows detailed examination of fracture and deformation behavior under extreme loads. In the automotive industry, it provides valuable data for impact and crash tests to improve vehicle safety. In biomechanics, it enables analysis of rapid movements, such as the effects of impacts on the human body.

FAQs: About High-Speed Cameras (HPV-X)

1. What is a high-speed camera?

A high-speed camera is a specialized imaging device designed to capture extremely fast movements by recording thousands to millions of frames per second. This allows for detailed analysis of high-speed events that are too quick for the human eye to perceive, such as explosions or rapid mechanical processes.

The HPV-X by Shimadzu is renowned for its ability to capture up to 10 million frames per second with exceptional resolution and minimal motion blur. Its advanced sensor technology and short shutter speeds enable it to record and analyze ultrafast events with unparalleled detail.

The HPV-X is ideal for capturing a wide range of high-speed events, including:

  • Fracture and failure processes in materials
  • Combustion and explosion dynamics
  • Impact and crash tests
  • Rapid motion in biological and mechanical systems

The HPV-X employs advanced image sensor technology and high-speed data processing capabilities to achieve its impressive frame rates. It uses specialized sensors to capture images with minimal delay, and its rapid data storage and processing systems manage the large volume of images generated.

  • The HPV-X can capture up to 10 million frames per second, making it one of the fastest high-speed cameras available. This high frame rate allows for the detailed observation and analysis of processes that occur in extremely short time intervals.

Despite its high frame rate, the HPV-X maintains high image quality through its advanced optical systems and short exposure times. The camera is designed to minimize motion blur and ensure clear, detailed images, even during rapid motion.

Common applications include:

  • Material science research to study fracture mechanics
