Thermal imaging shows what the human eye can't see

Infrared radiation (IR) is emitted by every object above a temperature of -273ºC. Although the human eye cannot detect infrared radiation, a thermal imaging camera can, and takes pictures of objects to show the amount of heat they are emitting. Thermal imaging cameras are thus invaluable diagnostic tools in a variety of industries, as they can detect abnormally hot or cold areas of components. In other words, you can detect problems the are invisible for the naked eye.

The benefits of thermal imaging

Anyone who is responsible for identifying electrical or mechanical problems or conditions will benefit from a thermal imaging camera. A thermal imaging camera produces non-contact temperature measurements as thermal images and will greatly help by increasing quality, saving costs and speeding up your work. With the reporting software included in the camera package it is easy to create reports, analyse and document your findings.

FLIR i3

The new i3 from FLIR is the smallest, lightest and most affordable thermal imaging camera on the market.  It is incredibly easy to use and requires no former experience.

It really is a matter of "point-shoot-detect" to obtain high quality thermal images that will immediately give you the thermal information you need. But don't confuse the i3 with a spot pyrometer!

A spot pyrometer only records the temperature of a certain spot - the i3 records a full image.

Find problems - faster and easier - with extreme accuracy

It's easy to miss critical problems with a spot pyrometer.  A FLIR thermal imaging camera scans the entire components giving you instant diagnostic insights showing the full extent of problems.
