Rate of Fire Detector

Response. Detection. Control.

Sydor Technologies innovative Rate of Fire Detector includes a rugged IR sensor designed to monitor muzzle exit gases and ballistic signatures for high-speed range instrumentation. Developed for sharp sensitivity and fast repetition, it delivers accurate timing data within demanding testing environments.

Key Benefits

  • Optimal Spectral Sensitivity
    Covers 0.8 to 1.8 µm wavelengths, with peak sensitivity at 1.55 µm.

  • Adjustable Detection Threshold
    User-configurable sensitivity settings enable precise targeting of specific gas or thermal-event profiles.

  • Rapid Repetition Capture
    Flash detection recovery time under ~8 µs, capturing ability up to 600 rounds per minute. Ideal for ballistic sequences, burst firing, or flash-dense environments.

  • Robust, Test-Hardened Design
    Compact and durable housing suited for mounting near barrels, combustion chambers, or in modular IR arrays.
