Handheld thermal/visible imaging system is said to be more sensitive, more accurate, offer more choice and contain more standard features than any other camera within its price range
Armstrong Optical says that cost effective thermal imaging and thermography is its principle target.
To this end it has announced the immediate availability of a new addition to its range of thermal imaging and visible imaging camera systems.
The IR928+ camera is a hand-held instrument that is supplied complete with a thermal imaging camera, a visible imaging camera, a laser locator and thermal- and visible-channel displays, allowing easy identification of thermal features, and has been produced to the IP54 specification ensuring operational abilities in even the harshest environments.
On-board software functions, accessed via a set of thumb-operated keys, allow temperature measurements with sensitivity of less than 0.1C.
Object emissivity, single and multiple point temperatures, isotherms, max/min and electronic zoom are all standard functions ensuring comprehensive probing for, and pinpointing of, potential thermal variations.
With on-board data storage for thermal and visible images plus voice annotation, the IR928+ camera is well able to operate as a stand-alone system.
However, for complete data security, the stored data can be easily transferred to a PC system via the built-in interface or transmitted via the optional wireless communication accessory to a remote monitoring station.
Bundled with the camera is a suite of Windows-based post-processing software offering an extensive range of temperature measurement, image processing and report generating functions.
The IR928+ is more sensitive, more accurate, offers more choice and contains more standard features than any other camera within its price range, says the company.
The IR928+ has already shown itself to be useful for applications such as energy management and building surveys, analysis of storage/reactor tank levels and insulation, pipe blockage, motor and pump bearings, overheating electrical switchgear, transformers, bus-bars and power lines, medical/veterinary thermography plus many more, says Armstrong Optical.
"The new IR928+ system brings the benefits of real-time thermal imaging and thermography to many more users", asserts Ian Johnstone, sales and marketing director at the company .
"Now price need never be an obstacle when it comes to high finesse thermal imaging - the IR928+ represents the best value for money when compared to any other similarly specified system on the market today".
