Predictive maintenance pinpoints impending problems

4 October 2006 Test & Measurement

Fluke’s Ti40/Ti50 IR FlexCam Series features the company’s innovative IR-Fusion technology to pinpoint impending problems and helps identify suspect components for more effective predictive maintenance. IR-Fusion technology allows maintenance personnel to see exactly what is being viewed by linking a visible light image to the thermal image.

IR-Fusion technology simultaneously captures pixel-for-pixel infrared and visible light images, and allows full image optimisation with five different on-camera, as well as software viewing modes:

* Full IR - for troubleshooting and analysing equipment and installations with very high resolution IR imaging. It allows detecting of the smallest temperature variations to track down the origin of problems and fully document the extent of remediation. Full IR images are automatically linked to full visible light images.

* Picture-in-picture - this creates an IR 'window' surrounded by a visible light frame to easily identify thermal anomalies, while maintaining a frame of reference with surroundings.

* Alpha blending - this combines visible and infrared images together in any ratio to create a single image with enhanced detail that helps to precisely locate problems.

* IR/visible alarm - for displaying only temperatures that fall above, below, or in-between a specified range as an IR image, leaving the rest of the scene as a fully visible light image.

* Full visible light - gives a bright, detailed pixel-for-pixel reference image of subject areas for documentation and reporting.

The Ti40/Ti50 IR FlexCam claims the industry's largest high-resolution images (up to 127 mm) on offer and an articulated 180° lens for a clear reading in virtually every position. Its thermal sensitivity range (down to 0,05 f) reveals subtle temperature differences. The AutoCapture feature also allows the capture of images where a temperature limit is exceeded.

It is IP54 rated for industrial use and measures up to 600°C (1200°C option available). The SmartView analysis and reporting software is supplied with the unit.
