Products Thermal imaging & vision systems New high-end visual infrared thermometer Standalone infrared linescanning system launched


For when a single-spot temperature reading is not enough, but a high-resolution thermal imaging camera is more than is needed, Fluke has introduced the VT04 Visual Infrared Thermometer. Described as a troubleshooting tool, this is said to be affordable, compact and intuitive. The thermometer, which has an infrared heat map, tempera- ture alarms and time-lapse features, is said to combine the visual insight of a thermal imager, the visual images of a digital camera, and the point-and-shoot convenience of an IR thermometer. It has a wider 28˚ x 28˚ field of view than the VT02, enabling improved scanning and up-close evaluation, and it provides four times sharper images. Additional features include a Hi/Lo temperature alarm which enables hot spots to be found in seconds, and its time- lapse functionality automatically monitors equipment over time or automatically captures images after an alarm has been triggered. Images are saved to a micro-SD card.


Capable of instantly detecting problems using blended thermal and digital imagery, the VT04 will display and save images as full visual, full infrared, or in three blended modes (25, 50, and 75%). Markers pin- point hot and cold spots, indicating the hottest temperature with a red box and the coldest with a blue box; and temperature reading is pro- vided at the centre point. According to the company, the instrument enables fast inspection of electrical, industrial, HVAC/R and automotive applications. Images can be imported into SmartView analysis and reporting software.

The rugged ScanIR3 infrared linescanner system from Raytek has been developed to create real-time thermal images in, for example, the glass, metals, semiconductor, and plastics industries. Available in eight models for various spectral ranges and wide temperature ranges, the devices are suitable for temperature monitoring of continuous processes as well as discrete manufacturing in production lines. Features include laser sighting, water-cooling, an air purge housing, and a protective enclosure that enables operation at very high ambient temperatures. These also offer maximum optical resolution of 200:1, a scan speed of up to 150 lines per second, and up to 1.024 measurement points per line. Even minimal temperature non-uniformities and hot spots are detected and displayed in real time.


The system also contains a calibrated infrared sensor that scans measurement points along a straight line by means of a motorized mirror with a 90˚ field of view, generating a two-dimensional thermal image in moving processes.


The scanner is available with a rugged processor box which is connected through a single cable with a robust one- click connector. The box features Ethernet or fibre optic interfaces (optional) as well as various analogue and digital I/O options. This enables stand-alone operation. Temperature data is displayed in real time and can be made available in a network via an OPC or DDE server. Raytek
