Fluke announced in February a reduction of over 20% in the manufacturer’s recommended price of two cameras in its rugged Professional Series of Infrared (IR) cameras, the Ti300 and Ti400, based on the previous list price. The Fluke Ti300 and Ti400 IR cameras feature LaserSharp Auto Focus which offers laser speed and accuracy when focusing on a designated target. A built-in laser distance meter calculates and displays the distance to the designated target with pinpoint accuracy. They feature a high resolution LCD touchscreen to clearly see what is being measured and to quickly navigate the menu with one hand.
The recently announced high-end Ti450 IR camera, in the same series, takes focusing to a higher plane with MultiSharp Focus. All three of the Professional Series IR cameras are compatible with Fluke Connect and all three feature Fluke IR-Fusion® technology with AutoBlend mode to detect problems faster. Optional telephoto and wide-angle lenses offer extra detail from near or far.
The wireless Ti300, Ti400 and Ti450 are part of Fluke Connect, a system of wireless test tools that communicate via the Fluke Connect app, or Fluke Connect Assets software, a cloud-based solution that gathers measurements to provide a comprehensive view of critical equipment status. With Fluke Connect, infrared images can be uploaded from anywhere and combined with measurement data from multiple Fluke Connect test tools to create and share comprehensive reports from the job site via email and collaborate in real time with other colleagues, increasing productivity in the field.
MultiSharp Focus on the Ti450 is a new technology that rapidly takes multiple images focused near to far and combines them to produce one image with all objects in focus. The advanced focusing system enables users to capture an automated, in-focus image of all potential targets, delivering the image clarity needed by professional thermographers and maintenance managers to provide better images and avoid costly rework. SuperResolution mode on the Ti450 increases image resolution to 640 x 480. This delivers images with four times more pixel data than normal resolution. The higher resolution enables users to see even more detail for greater analysis capability and better reporting.
