FLIR E5 – A Whole New Level for Thermography (Part II)
Hello again. The next camera in Flir’s new line is the E5. As you might expect the E5 is similar to the E4 I detailed last time with some notable upgrades. As far as similarities, the Flir E5 also includes MSX technology, as all of FLIR’s new cameras do, which performs real-time etching of visible light details onto thermograms, producing stunning results (see image at right).
Hello all let's talk about the Flir E4. This is the first in a series taking a look at the new line of thermal imagers out today from FLIR and they are awesome. The biggest thing that everyone will be talking about when these cameras release is the addition of MSX, Multi-spectral Dynamic Imaging, to all of FLIR’s cameras, including the E4.
Fluke’s newest offering in the emerging market for Visual IR Thermometers is the Fluke VT04. I recently posted about the Fluke VT02 and mentioned that it has some limitations. Many of these issues have been addressed in VT04 and have set it at the head of the pack for this new kind of tester.
Do you like free stuff? Who doesn’t? How about free education? You mean that stuff that comes out of books and college kids pay thousands and thousands of dollars a year to get? Sure do!
What is an IR window? Basically it is a crystal lens that allows broadband infrared waves to pass through it (as well as visible light). The lens does not however allow electrical current to pass through. This enables the thermographer to take IR and visible images of live and energized electrical equipment.
The Flir i3, i5, and i7 Infrared Cameras have been disontinued.
Today we’re going to talk about a tool that, as far as I know, has no current competition or comparable product on the market – the Fluke VT02. While it has its limitations, it is certainly one of the best and most cost-effective choices for certain applications.
