Thermal imager targets predictive and preventive maintenance

Raytek Corporation's new enhancements to the ThermoView Ti30 thermal imager make it easier for beginners to achieve professional results. This powerful, easy-to-use inspection solution is designed specifically for predictive and preventive maintenance.

Along with a new temperature range of -10 to 250°C, the enhancements focus on the Windows- based InsideIR analysis and reporting software included with the ThermoView Ti30. The new version 2.0 software allows users more flexibility to choose how they view the temperature data contained within thermal images, enables easy and complete report creation and makes the ThermoView Ti30 a useful and effective tool for predictive maintenance routing.
Up to 100 thermal images collected during an inspection route and downloaded to a PC can be easily adjusted and labelled using the software. Images can then be archived or exported, complete with temperature data, as a zipped file for emailing to other ThermoView Ti30 users.
Recipients can make further adjustments to the images, such as changing emissivity and reflected temperature values, or change viewing preferences, using the same InsideIR software.
In addition to the ability to click on an image and see point temperatures, users can now overlay a temperature grid onto the entire image to display average temperatures for each segment, or view the minimum, maximum and average temperatures of an individually selected area.
In addition, the images from previous inspections, complete with location names and temperature data, can be uploaded to the ThermoView Ti30 for use as a quick routing guide when checking repairs or for routine checks of critical equipment -- a valuable inspection tool included with no other thermal imaging camera in this price category. Users are prompted in the display exactly where to make their inspections. The new images can then be compared to previous ones of the same location using InsideIR software. Other enhancements include greater ease in creating thermographic reports, the ability to incorporate customer logos and digital photographs of the inspection, and easy export of the data into common file formats.
Available at a new low price point in the industry, the ThermoView Ti30 provides a total thermal imaging solution for predictive and preventive maintenance programs.
Designed for both indoor and outdoor use, the easy-to-use ThermoView Ti30 provides simultaneous thermal imaging and temperature measurement, sharp image quality, storage of up to 100 images with temperature data, and intuitive analysis and reporting software.
