Thermal camera has high performance
No other mid-range product can match this thermal imaging camera for its flexibility or functionality, said its manufacturer, as it is compact and half the weight of its nearest competitor.
Claiming to be the world's largest IR manufacturer, FLIR Systems can offer an exceptional choice in predictive maintenance and condition monitoring FLIR's production economies combined with high and continued investment in R and D have allowed it to develop the industry's most comprehensive range of thermal imaging cameras

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.
This range is continually being updated to accommodate new application needs and to take advantage of new protocols and software developments.
* Flexibility or functionality - mid-range is the focus of the most recent FLIR Systems' camera developments.
Its new ThermaCAM T-Series, to be shown on stand F6 at Maintec '08, USA, breaks new ground on so many fronts.

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.
No other mid-range camera has its flexibility or functionality, said FLIR to manufacturingtalk.com.
It is compact, half the weight of its nearest competitor and has the performance that one would normally expect from a higher-end camera.
FLIR Systems continues to 'push the boundaries', giving its customers better value for money.
Designed for a frequent user of infrared, the ThermaCAM T-Series has a number of time-saving features to make the job easier and quicker.
The camera, for example,, introduces Thermal Fusion.
This allows the automatic and seamless transition of images from thermal to visual and vice versa whilst retaining all measurement functions in both view modes.
Images are displayed on a large 3.5in touch screen - claimed by FLIR to be an industry first.
It opens up the possibility of additional functions such as sketching via stylus and text entry via on-screen QWERTY keyboard.
The camera provides a 320 x 240 pixel resolution from a detector specifically developed for this model by FLIR Systems.
Indeed every vital element of this camera is manufactured by the company including the lenses.
* Portable 640 x 480 infrared camera - for thermographers seeking advanced capabilities there is a range of options provided by the ThermaCAM P-Series.
Top of this range is the ThermaCAM P640, another trend-setter from FLIR Systems.
FLIR claims that this model is the world's first ever portable 640 x 480 infrared camera.
It provides more than 707,000 measurement points.
This exceptional image quality allows the camera to be used at greater distances from the target, said FLIR, an important development in the inspection of high voltage installations.
It also allows surveys to be undertaken quicker as fewer images need to be taken to complete the picture.
* Plant maintenance - for many involved in plant maintenance however all that is required is an effective method of detecting a problem without the option for in-depth analysis.
Again FLIR Systems has focused development on this sector too and its choice of find-it-fix-it models is as comprehensive as its higher-end products.
InfraCAM continues to provide the answer for most.
This easily portable, torch-style camera is a true toolbox tool designed for spot checks and limited analysis. Request a free brochure from Flir Systems ...
