range, LumaSense says this pyrometer is perfectly designed for measuring temperatures during metal processing such as induction hardening, welding, soldering, annealing, rolling, forging and sintering.
It can also be used in heating and cooling processes and advanced manufacturing processes for ceramics, graphite, and other carbon materials.
Preventing temperature fluctuations The IGA 6/23 Advanced pyrometers are available immediately and can be controlled using LumaSense’s Sensorgraphics process intelligence software to accurately detect, reduce and prevent out-of-band temperature fluctuations that can hamper the efficiency of, and contribute unwarranted waste to, resource-intensive manufacturing processes.
“Operators and users can be empowered with a nearly intuitive sixth sense to identify potential issues before they impact process efficiency, reduce quality
or impact yields,” says the company.
For Fluke, communications are key and its SmartView analysis and reporting software has just gone mobile. So users can create an inspection report on-site and communicate directly to the appropriate person via Apple Iphone or Ipad using the free SmartView Mobile app.
The app allows users to analyse images, create robust reports and get next steps approved before leaving the inspection site. This ability to troubleshoot an issue quickly and devise a plan to get back on line is critical to success.
The company says: “The Fluke line of infrared cameras lets you quickly identify and keep track of inspection locations by adding additional digital images (IR-PhotoNotes) that help you reference the location or unique situations at the inspection site. An electronic eight-point cardinal compass easily communicates the inspection site location and voice annotation makes pen and paper no longer necessary.” l
Super resolution for hi res IR images I
n many industrial or trade applications, it is necessary to reliably thermograph even the smallest or extremely distant measuring objects.
In such cases, the better the image resolution and the more readings in the thermal image, the more detailed and clearer the representation of the measuring object. The Testo SuperResolution technology improves the usable, geometric resolution of the thermal image by a factor of 1.6 and provides four times more readings –

comparable with a higher detector resolution. These thermal images with SuperResolution quality, which can be conveniently viewed in the PC-based analysis software, are achieved by combining the two technologies super-sampling and deconvolution, which can be used by Testo thermal imagers thanks to a complex algorithm.
The SuperResolution technology takes real thermal readings without using a large detector and in a form
that can be simply evidenced, for example, using a slit diaphragm structure. In addition to this, the improvement in the quality of the recorded SuperResolution infrared image means in practice that the so-called ‘smallest measurable object’ becomes considerably smaller. This, says Teso, will allow for even the tiniest structures of up to 0.07mm to be recorded thermally, or more measurement values and details to be seen from a great distance. l
