Why Use Infrared?
|
From Flir Systems Incorporated
A picture says a thousand words; infrared thermography is the only diagnostic technology that lets you instantly visualize and verify thermal performance. FLIR's infrared cameras show you thermal problems, quantify them with precise non-contact temperature measurement, and document them automatically in seconds with professional easy-to-create IR reports.
Nearly everything that uses or transmits power gets hot before it fails. Cost effective power management is critical to maintaining the reliability of your electrical and mechanical systems. And today, no one would argue that infrared thermography is the most effective proven predictive maintenance (PM) technology available to quickly, accurately and safely locate problems prior to failure. In June 2001, Maintenance Technology magazine reported a $4 return on investment in for every $1 spent on infrared inspection. Finding and fixing a poor electrical connection before a component fails can save you the much greater costs associated with manufacturing downtime, production losses, power outages, fires and catastrophic failures.
Products & Services
Infrared Sources are optoelectronic devices that emit infrared light.
Predictive maintenance (PdM) and condition monitoring systems are used to predict equipment maintenance, and to monitor corrosion, oil condition, bearing wear, overheating and other parameters than can lead to the breakdown of capital equipment.
Condition monitoring and machine maintenance services monitor the condition of critical machines, battery banks, power supplies, processes and rotary equipment. They also perform predictive maintenance (PdM) and/or preventive maintenance.
Thermal imagers detect heat patterns in the infrared wavelength (1 micron to 100 micron) spectrum.
Noncontact infrared temperature sensors absorb ambient infrared (IR) radiation given off by a heated surface. They are used in applications where direct temperature measurement is not possible.
