Cambridge-based British company Thermoteknix Systems has launched a new range of fully featured VisIR thermal imaging cameras which offers a predictive maintenance solution for both new and experienced thermographers. The range includes camera models to suit every budget and application and a wealth of powerful software options and other features.
The VisIR 160-P camera is Thermoteknix Systems' new entry-level thermal imager ideal for building inspection, energy audits, detecting electrical/mechanical faults and other anomalies. A fully featured robust, compactand simple to operate thermal imaging camera, it features:
• 160×120 detector
• High resolution visible camera
• x2 zoom
• High capacity image storage
• High contrast tiltable touch screen
• Laser pointer
• IR/Visible image fusion technology
• Extensive software options
• Compact, rugged housing
The handy point and shoot VisIR 160-P model is ideal for a wide range of
inspections including buildings, motors, bearings and electrical equipment.
The VisIR 320-P and VisIR 640-P are high resolution thermographic tools for detection, diagnosis and analysis, featuring:
• High sensitivity 320×240 / 640×480 detector
• High resolution visible camera
• Live zoom to x8
• Thermal/Visible, PiP, Fused display options

faster and more reliable allowing you to cover the same tasks with less images in a fraction of the time.
VisIR's Condition RED asset-based thermography database system
guides the camera operator through surveys to ensure consistent, repeatable inspections. Reference images of each asset are displayed alongside the live image at every inspection point to ensure the correct equipment is being inspected. Condition RED then compares the asset's current condition against its historical data to assess whether any action needs to be taken.
Working with Condition RED – VisIR's patented ThermAlign system saves operators time during inspections and gives image to image registration by overlaying a reference onto the live thermal image during repeat inspections. This results in consistent, repeatable inspections, even when performed by different thermographers and ensures that trending and comparisons are accurate and meaningful everytime. ThermAlign automatically sets the same tool and image parameters used during the previous inspections. VisIR 640 works in conjunction with Thermoteknix' PC based Condition RED® software to produce a powerful asset based database, which travels with you to the job.
Predictive maintenance, or condition monitoring, keeps a check on the health of assets through regular inspection. Effective predictive maintenance enables repair to be performed when it is most cost-effective, before assets lose optimum performance and when downtime is minimised. All Thermoteknix products are developed, manufactured and supported from Thermoteknix' global headquarters in Cambridge, England.
