FLIR Thermal Imager: Electrical Industrial Control

With the improvement of the precision of equipment in various industries, for the maintenance of daily industrial equipment, the intuitive temperature control and thermal energy analysis of the equipment are extremely necessary for production safety. The single-point temperature measurement can no longer meet the requirements of current electrical industrial control. For safety reasons, real-time temperature changes of equipment, temperature warnings in different areas, normal operation of the heat-dissipating area, and changes in the overall temperature of the plant will become important data for industrial monitoring. Traditional point-temperature measurement equipment can no longer meet modern electrical fields. The demand for industrial control, global thermal imaging company FLIR thermal imager products are gradually becoming the new favorite in the field of electrical engineering.

The FLIR Ex Series is a "point and shoot" camera that brings you a new dimensional experience. FLIR Ex series thermal imaging cameras are economical and are an alternative to spot thermometers. The thermal image it captures includes temperature information for each pixel. Picture storage combines the new multiband dynamic imaging (MSX®), thermal imaging, and visual image formats to make the FLIR Ex Series thermal imaging cameras extremely easy to use. The FLIR Ex Series is capable of generating real-time “point-and-shoot” JPEG infrared images containing all temperature data.

With the multi-band dynamic imaging technology of FLIR Ex series thermal imagers, users can not only see the infrared thermal image generated by the thermal imager, but also can be superimposed with the traditional optical imaging image, making the thermal image extremely clearly visible. The current scene, thus quickly confirming the heat source, monitoring or troubleshooting, is a function that can only be realized by high-end products worth tens of thousands of yuan in the past. The FLIR Ex series portable thermal imager has comfortable grip and high accuracy, and the addition of the MSX function makes it more convenient. Its superior cost performance can be widely used in electrical and mechanical inspections, building construction inspections, safety fire protection, intelligent buildings and other scenes.

Like many FLIR thermal imagers, Yang Yang, a construction company, also chose the FLIR E4 product to perform inspections of construction equipment and machinery through the FLIR E4. What FLIR E4 attracts him most is the price/performance ratio of MSX. As we all know, a single infrared camera does not penetrate the surface of glass, and the addition of MSX makes the infrared thermal image and the optical image combined into a thermal image. Bring more details, so that the generated photo is more intuitive and effective, through the FLIR Tools software, generate test reports directly on the PC/MAC.

FLIR EX series thermal imager products bring new experience of thermal monitoring to users through portability, ease of use, and accuracy. It is a substitute for point thermometers and, more importantly, patented MSX multi-band dynamic imaging technology. The launch of the EX Series, which is an entry-level product, has the rich features of a professional-grade thermal imager, providing an unparalleled experience for engineers.

About thermal imaging

Thermal imaging is the use of an imager consisting of a special sensor to "see" the energy released by an object. Because the wavelength of thermal energy or infrared light is too long to be detected, it cannot be seen by human eyes. What we actually perceive as heat energy is part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Infrared can help us see objects that are invisible to the naked eye. The camera generates an image of invisible infrared or "hot" radiation. Thermal imaging produces clear images based on the temperature difference between different objects. This is a great tool for predictive maintenance, building inspections, R&D, and automation applications. Thermal imaging can see the object under observation in a completely dark environment, at night, through fog, smoke, and from a distance. The technology can also be used in security, maritime, automation, firefighting and many other applications.
