See new thermal imaging cameras at The Energy Event 2011
On stand 2830 at The Energy Event 2011, Flir Systems will be demonstrating its comprehensive range of B-Series thermal imaging cameras with dedicated features for speedy and effective detection of energy losses. They extend from compact, troubleshooting models through to highly powerful units with sophisticated features for advanced temperature measurement and analysis.
The latest additions to the company's range are in the middle to high-end band. The new Flir T600bx Series is a good example of the company's ability to provide exceptional quality at a surprisingly low price. Indeed, in that regard, these thermal imaging cameras are claimed to be unique in their class.
Expert models
The Flir T620bx and T640bx models are ergonomic and easy to use even when wearing personal protection equipment. Both are equipped with a state-of-the-art uncooled microbolometer detector that produces crisp, 640 x 480 pixel thermal images on which even small details can be seen.
Flir says the camera's scope of application is enhanced by a choice of lenses beyond the standard 25-degree type; Flir claims to offer the best variety of exchangeable optics on the market. This flexibility is complemented by a rotating optical block that makes it easy to capture images from difficult angles.
The high-resolution thermal imaging that characterises the Flir T-Series models is matched by high-resolution visible light images. Both models incorporate a 5 megapixel digital camera that generates sharp reference images.
Entry level plus
Flir also claims that its new Flir Ebx-Series provides the best thermal imaging and digital camera resolution in its class. These cameras are designed for users wanting enhanced imaging quality and more analysis functions from an entry-level thermal imaging camera.
Three versions complete this new series with the top-of-the-range model, the Flir E60bx, providing 76,800 pixels from its 320 x 240 uncooled detector. This enables users to see greater detail than with lower-specification entry-level cameras.
Within its ethos of offering better thermal imaging cameras for lower prices, Flir Systems is also said to lead the way on wireless connectivity. The FLIR Tbx- and Ebx-Series enable the wireless transmission of readings from an Extech clamp meter or moisture meter to the camera via a feature called Meterlink. Also, images and other information can be sent to mobile devices such as an iPhone, iPod touch or iPad so users can share critical information immediately with decision makers on-site or via email.
The cameras can also be specified with Flir Reporter for more extensive reporting options and also Flir BuildIR. This advanced software includes, for example, energy cost estimation, dew point calculation, air filtration visualisation and air tightness reporting, as well as the clever Panorama image stitching tool.
