Heat sensing to pinpoint faults is now for hire
For many companies a 'thermascan' is a name applied to a professional thermographic survey that pinpoints faults before they become fatalities.
Updating thermal imaging saves energy costs
The Climate Change Levy is focussing the attention of many companies on improving plant efficiency to reduce energy costs. Thermal imaging cameras help identify hotspots and so save energy.
Priced as low as GBP 6,950, ThermaCAM QuickView included, the ThermaCAM E25 will bring the benefits of infrared thermography to many more users.
This launch poses an important question.
Why pay GBP 6,950 for a lower-spec unit when, for the same price you can have a camera that is better than its competitors in virtually every respect.

In-house thermal imaging reduces maintenance costs
The Solihull site of Land Rover has invested in its own Flir Systems ThermaCAM PM675 thermal imaging camera to provide a dedicated in-house resource.
The new ThermaCAM E25 is more sensitive, more accurate, offers more choice and contains more standard features than any other camera within its price range.
Unlike others, the ThermaCAM E25 is IP54 rated and therefore highly robust.
It comes with a choice of lens - 9mm, 17mm or 36mm - not just one, so it can be equipped to suit the application.
And with the E25, composite video output is a standard feature.
As the E25 captures thermal images at a speed of 50Hz - not 20Hz - it is suitable for scanning moving targets.
The focal plane array is 160 x 120 pixels, larger than its competitors, resulting in better quality thermal images being displayed on the camera's large, super-bright 63.5mm LCD display.
It also offers a greater choice of palettes and a wider temperature scale; from -20degC as standard and up to 900degC as an option.
This fully radiometric camera is exceptionally easy to operate.
With a weight of just 700 grams, it can be clipped to a belt or stored in a toolbox.
In common with other E-series cameras, the E25 has in-built Laser LocatIRT to help the operator associate a hot spot on the IR image with the real physical target.
This greatly enhances user safety by eliminating the tendency to 'finger point' at problems in low- and high-voltage environments.
The ThermaCAM E25 is a reliable infrared camera with basic analysis capabilities.
It has a fixed measurement spot in the middle of the image.
The camera sees temperature differences as small as 0.20degC and stores up to 100 infrared images in its internal memory.
The camera is very easy to use.
Only four buttons and a joystick control the entire camera.
The lightweight, long-life Li-ion battery ensures uninterrupted inspections and can be recharged in any vehicle, en route to the next job.
"The ThermaCAM E-series has brought the benefits of real-time infrared imaging and measurement to many more users," concludes Paul Sacker, Sales and Marketing Manager FLIR Systems.
"With the introduction of the ThermaCAM E25 price is even less of an obstacle. Request a free brochure from Flir Systems ...
This model provides exceptionally good value for money.".
