Making their first public appearance are the new FLIR E75, E85 and E95 thermal imaging cameras. These wi-fi-enabled cameras feature intelligent interchangeable lenses, laser-assisted autofocus modes and area measurement functionality, improvements to the patented FLIR MSX imaging technology and a larger, more vibrant 4in touchscreen. These are also the first Exx-Series camera to offer UltraMax, the FLIR embedded super-resolution process that improves effective resolution by four times and thermal sensitivity by up to 50 per cent.
UltraMax was first introduced in the FLIR T-Series models. This camera range – designed for professional thermographers – includes the FLIR T1K, the world’s first 1024 x 768 pixels handheld model and features a rotating optical block for easy imaging whatever the application. In total, eight models complete the FLIR T-Series, each providing class-leading sensitivity for outstanding image quality and accurate problem diagnosis.
Continuous condition and safety monitoring with thermal imaging is easily achieved with the FLIR A-Series cameras. The FLIR AX8, for example, combines thermal and visual modes in a single and affordable package, providing continuous temperature monitoring and alarm capabilities to protect critical electrical and power generation assets. It helps guard against outages, service interruptions and failures while eliminating the need for periodic manual scans.
FLIR Systems’ development of the Lepton thermal micro core, the size of a mobile SIM, has allowed thermal imaging to be repackaged to meet the needs of an even wider audience. In combination with another new FLIR technology called Infrared Guided Measurement – IGM – the micro core has led to the development of a range of test and measurement meters with imaging capability.
IGM will be a main focus on the FLIR stand as it dramatically reduces troubleshooting time. It allows maintenance professionals to work smarter and more efficiently by visually guiding them to temperature problems that are invisible to the naked eye. In this way IGM elevates test tools to a whole new level of functionality, saving valuable maintenance time.
This technology is now provided on a wide range of FLIR Test and Measurement tools including clamp meters and multimeters. Having located the overheating fault with thermal imaging, the user quantifies and confirms values on the meters.
