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 growth path has given FLIR Systems' thermal imaging cameras much greater application scope.
FLIR Systems is showing its latest generation infrared cameras at the UK's Plant and Works Exhibition.
The range provides a camera to suit every plant maintenance application and every budget, from the simple 'find-it-fix-it' jobs through to those that demand the best that the technology can offer.
Top of the range is the ThermaCAM P640.
In developing this portable thermal imaging camera, whose picture quality is better than any other off the shelf model on the market, said FLIR Systems, the company has included far more than just superior detector technology.
In addition to the 640 x 480 pixel detector and advanced software, the ThermaCAM P640 also features high-powered lenses, developed and manufactured in-house by FLIR Systems.
FLIR Systems told manufacturingtalk.com that no infrared specialist has this facility.
* Mid-range camera - intended for the advanced and frequent user of infrared the new ThermaCAM T-Series is a mid-range camera with many high end, time saving features.
The integration of thermal and visual imaging been perfected in the ThermaCAM T-Series and it also introduces a really clever overlaying facility called Thermal Fusion.
This allows the automatic and seamless transition of images from thermal to visual and vice versa, on the screen, whilst retaining all measurement functions in both view modes.
It makes it so much easier to see problems, said FLIR.
The interchangeable lens is a standard feature on the majority of FLIR Systems' cameras and that even includes the ThermaCAM E-Series.
This considerably extends the application potential of these good quality, value for money cameras.
Examples from all ranges will be demonstrated on the FLIR Systems and completing the picture will be the InfraCAM SD.
This 'find-it-fix-it' camera allows up to 1000 radiometric jpeg images to be stored on a removable SD card.
