Combining FLIR’s state-of-the-art thermal imaging with Teledyne’s innovative machine vision technology, Teledyne FLIR has developed an array of sophisticated yet simple-to-use thermal imaging automation cameras. Teledyne FLIR’s A-series ranges from compact entry models, like the AX8, to sophisticated imagers suitable for use in hazardous areas, for example, the A310 Ex, and includes configurable cameras with a selection of lenses, such as the A50, A70, A400, A500, and A700. Ideal for when precision and control are mission critical, Teledyne FLIR’s A-series Automation Thermal Cameras are suitable for process control and quality assurance, early fire detection, and condition monitoring of electrical and mechanical installations.

The Problem

Failures in electrical and mechanical installations cause costly downtime and require expensive repairs. Finding a method to identify faults before they become catastrophic failures eliminates expensive downtime and significantly reduces repair costs. Most manufacturing companies already use thermal imaging to monitor electrical and mechanical equipment as heat build-up, resulting, for instance, from an overheating component, indicates poor equipment health and, therefore, impending failure. Invaluable though thermal imaging is, quite often its efficacy depends on the frequency of predictive maintenance routines. When equipment is only monitored periodically using, for example, a handheld thermal camera, manufacturing companies run the risk of missing emerging faults, only discovering them when a failure occurs.  

The Solution

Fixed-mounted automation thermal-imaging cameras, such as Teledyne FLIR’s AX8, A50, and A70 imagers, offer a convenient solution to monitoring electrical and machinal installations 24/7. Teledyne FLIR’s compact A-series cameras can be conveniently mounted into position and will monitor several pieces of equipment simultaneously. In addition to providing detailed thermal imaging and temperature data, the Teledyne FLIR AX8, A50, and A70 trigger alarms if pre-programmed temperature limits are exceeded. Installing a Teledyne FLIR A-series Automation Thermal Camera to monitor electrical and mechanical installations ensures the detection of heat emerging from developing faults, allowing you to address problems in a timely manner and at a significantly lower expense.

Testimonial

ADE Technology Inc, a Taiwanese company, has developed an affordable condition-monitoring solution for electrical and mechanical installations. Designed for monitoring enterprise-wide electricity installations, solar PVs, and environment control systems (ECS), ADE’s compact T-Guard fits inside installation cabinets and can be used with up to nine Teledyne FLIR AX8 Automation Thermal Cameras. ADE’s general manager Jeffrey Chow attests that:

“The AX8 is definitely a game changer for traditional condition monitoring.”
