Sophisticated ergonomics, innovative features, outstanding image quality and the most modern technology.
The new thermal imager pro generation, consisting of the testo 885 and testo 890 are designed to address the most demanding applications. According to product manager, Sabine Hinkel, “In the forefront of the development were the varied measurement tasks of our customers.
Innovative features which make thermography easier and safer, in combination with the excellent image quality, the possibility of analysing thermal processes in detail over time and an intuitive operation are, in this combination, a benchmark on the world market for portable thermal imagers.”
Focus on best image quality
The combination of first-class optics with a light, wide angle or telephoto lens, 320x240 (testo 885) and 640x480 (testo 890), pixel detector, an NETD (<30 mK) testo 885 and (<40 mK) testo 890 and high-quality system components, means exceptionally sharp focus and meaningful thermal images. In addition, a fourfold resolution can also be achieved, made possible by the patented SuperResolution technology. The SuperResolution takes multiple images within less than half a second, incorporating the natural movement of the hand. These images are then combined to create a much higher definition image.
If the depiction of the measurement object is not possible with a single image, the testo cameras offer a new panorama image assistant, which makes one total view out of several individual images – with full attention to detail and a full overview. The patented SiteRecognition technology can be used to support the efficient completion of inspection routes. This automatically takes care of the recognition of the measurement sites and the storage and administration of the resulting thermal images. The possibility of taking measurements in temperature ranges up to 1200°C allows the new series to offer the measuring range for every application.
For the most demanding user
For the analysis of heat development in microelectronic components, the resolution of structures up to 115 μm is possible at a focus distance of only 10 cm. Using the fully radiometric video measurement (testo 890), thermal processes can be recorded in real-time, and valuable analyses for R&D carried out on a PC. The exact temperature values of all pixels are available at any time. Additionally, reliable thermographic evaluations can be carried out, even on extremely distant measurement objects, thanks to the telephoto lens and the excellent image quality.
The 885 and 890 cameras come equipped with the free testo IR Soft, an intuitive and easy to use analysis package with broad functionality.
Arcelor Mittal Steel – Saldanha decides on testo 885
Arcelor Mittal Steel in Saldanha chose the testo 885 thermal imager after its panel of engineers had reviewed a variety of different thermal imager brands and models on the market. Subsequently, supplier unitemp was chosen based on the 885 testo thermal imager’s specifications as well as the training, support and competitive pricing. Saldanha Steel will be using the testo thermal imager to detect problematic areas in both the electrical and mechanical applications.
Mechanical friction results in heat that produces infra-red which is undetectable to the human eye. In industrial settings, the testo thermal imager is able to identify worn bearings easily, allowing the necessary maintenance to be done before a breakdown resulting in costly production downtime.
On the electrical side, the testo thermal imager can determine which conductors are overheating, caused either by overload, a loose connection, hot electrical switchgear components and connections or malfunctioning steam traps, allowing correction of unbalanced loads over a three phase supply.
The unit discovers problems like insulation voids, hidden wet areas from leaky seals in pipes and many others. In fact, testo thermal imagers easily identify most heat related problems.’
