NEW FLIR THERMAL CAMERA STREAMLINES INDUSTRIAL
INSPECTIONS FLIR Systems has launched FLIR T860, the latest addition to the high-performance T-Series family.
This new thermal camera is the first to feature onboard Inspection Route software, ideal for streamlining inspections of critical assets, including power substation components, distribution lines, manufacturing equipment, or facility electrical and mechanical systems. By running a pre-planned route through the camera, thermal inspectors can spend less time in the field and face less hassle when creating survey reports.
The FLIR T860 has an ergonomic body, a vibrant LCD touchscreen visible from low angles, and an integrated colour viewfinder for sun glare conditions. The 640×480-resolution thermal camera incorporates FLIR’s advanced Vision Processing, including patented MSX and UltraMax image enhancement technologies to provide enhanced image clarity with half the image noise of previous models. Pairing the FLIR T860 with
an optional six-degree telephoto thermal lens allows users to inspect energized targets from a safe distance or measure small targets with greater precision.
This thermal camera includes advanced measurement tools such as one-touch level/span and laser-assisted autofocus, which helps users quickly find problems and make critical decisions. It also features an onboard routing system that works with the FLIR Thermal Studio advanced reporting software to create numbered, labeled inspection routes that users can create from the camera. This system allows users to record temperature data, thermal, and visual imagery in a logical sequence for faster troubleshooting and repair.
A key feature of the T-Series product line is its ergonomic design, which reduces the strain of full- day inspections. A 180-degree rotating lens platform helps users diagnose hard-to-reach components at substations and on distribution lines.

3M SMART ELECTRONIC EARPLUGS
BLOCK ONLY LOUD NOISES 3M has launched the Peltor Electronic Earplug, which
reduces harmful levels of noise but maintains a good level of situational awareness for wearers.
The Peltor Electronic Earplug from 3M enables
ambient sounds to be heard by its wearer, while providing protection against louder sounds that could cause damage to their hearing. This improves the ability of the wearer to hear warning signals, approaching vehicles and crucial sounds emitted by machines and processes as well as communicating with nearby colleagues, thus reducing the need to remove the ear protection.
Some 23,000 workers suffered work-related hearing problems between 2015 and 2018. Furthermore, insurance claims for work-place noise induced hearing loss in the UK has increased 189% over a three-year period
Designed for use in the metal working, welding, construction and maintenance, and ship construction and maintenance industries, the Peltor Electronic Earplug features a replaceable communications eartip that provides hearing protection in noisy environments. The eartip is available in multiple sizes and types and will fit most ear canals. Volume and power settings can be altered intuitively with the press of a single button located on the side of the earplug, while a specially designed microphone port helps minimise wind noise.

The lithium-ion batteries used to power the Peltor Electronic Earplug from 3M enable 16 hours of usage from a single charge. Charging is achieved by placing it in its case, which can be plugged into a computer or wall socket using a USB cable. A charging indicator incorporated into the case can be seen easily through its clear plastic lid, which is sealed with a ring to protect the earplugs from wet and dirty environments.
Simon Field, Technical Specialist for the Personal Safety Division at 3M, added: “Workers often had to choose between protecting their hearing, or being able to communicate effectively and hear important sounds around them. By recognising this issue and leveraging its technologies, 3M has delivered a solution that enables them to work smarter and more safely.”
