FLIR thermal camera gives superior
images
Thermal imaging camera from FLIR is intended for applications that need superior image quality, temperature measurement accuracy and even greater thermal image detail.
The FLIR Systems ThermaCAM P660 thermal imaging camera has been developed to give a superior image quality, temperature measurement accuracy and even greater thermal image detail The P660 has an even more sensitive 640 x 480 uncooled detector with sensitivity bettering 45mK

Infrared camera is smallest and lightest
FLIR Systems claimed to have developed the world's smallest, lightest and most affordable infrared camera, costing under GBP 2000, for finding electrical and heating problems.
Infrared Cameras support predictive maintenance
FLIR Systems has introduced two infrared cameras for a variety of electrical survey and mechanical inspection needs and are easy to use and affordable.
Highly detailed images can be further enhanced by a contrast optimiser.
FLIR said that this special algorithm enables a user to view with the utmost clarity both the scanned object and its surroundings.
Particularly useful in low contrast surroundings, this feature enables detail normally lost in the background to be seen more clearly.

Infrared camera wins 2008 'red dot design award'
A handheld infrared camera has been awarded the 'red dot design award' in the measurement and testing systems design category.
The most significant industry first feature to be introduced with the ThermaCAM P660, said FLIR to manufacturingtalk, is integral GPS for geo-location.
FLIr said that its customers had requested such a facility.
Utility, energy and telecoms users will be major beneficiaries of this introduction.
It is also highly useful for consultants who survey different sites.
The GPS data is stored automatically with the radiometric images adding mapping information to inspection reports so that field repair and service teams know the exact location of the problem.
* Wireless remote control - wireless remote control on the ThermaCAM P660 allows the camera to be set-up in a sensitive or difficult to access location.
It monitors or captures an event whilst the user retires to a point of safety and still retains full control over the camera operation.
* Picture-in-Picture function - Picture-in-Picture function allows the user to overlay, pan and scale an infrared image on a visual image.
As all measurement data is retained, the combined image can be fully analysed.
Thermal fusion is also included and enables image overlay to be undertaken in real time at the push of a button.
This also allows the creation of overlay just as isotherms have been used - providing Thermal Fusion data in a temperature ban or as above or below temperature.
FLIR Systems has also upgraded the on-board visual camera with its latest addition.
The ThermaCAM P660 includes a 3.2 megapixel visual camera, a large 5.6in colour LCD, tiltable viewfinder and a 3h battery.
It is housed in a rugged but lightweight magnesium casing that weighs less than cameras with a fraction of the resolution and fewer features.
The standard model measures temperatures from -40 deg C to +500 deg C with optional range up to +2000 deg C. Request a free brochure from Flir Systems ...
