Comtest has announced the launch of Fluke’s new Expert Series thermal imagers – the TiX560 and TiX520. Users of infrared devices need maximum flexibility with an ergonomic design that allows for easy navigation over, under and around hard-to-reach objects. With an articulating lens that rotates a full 180 degrees with the FlexCam lens, and the largest 5.7 inch touchscreen LCD, Fluke’s new TiX560 and TiX520 can aim and focus from a comfortable angle and easily capture the target that was once impossible to see. They also feature the largest LCD touchscreen and leading spatial resolution for a 320x240 infrared camera in its class – meaning 150% more viewing area, making it easier to annotate, edit and analyse images.
Users can instantly capture highly detailed images and begin analysing images while still in the field with on- camera analytics. Image detail is possible from a distance or close up and the SuperResolution mode, available on-camera in the TiX560, turns the 320x240 images into 640x480 types, 4x the resolution and pixels.
Features of theTiX560/520
• Navigate over, under and around objects with the 180° articulating lens.
• In-field analysis with post-capture image processing – edit emissivity, background temperature, transmissivity, palettes, colour alarms, IR-Fusion and enable/disable marker – all on camera.
• Premium image output in high temp applications by combining multiple sequential frames of data into one with image sharpening (TiX560).
• Finding subtle temperature differences is easier – instantly improve thermal sensitivity from 45 mK to 30 mK with Filter mode (TiX560).
• Monitor processes with video recording, live video streaming, remote control (TiX560 only), or auto capture.
• Save and share images from the field with the office via Fluke’s ConnectTM app.
Premier focus technologies
Getting in-focus images can be painstaking with manual focus systems, and some autofocus systems may not be exactly what is required for the task. Fluke Professional and Expert Series cameras include some of the most innovative focus technologies available, such as Fluke’s LaserSharp auto focus. Image sharpening allows for premium image output in high temp applications by combining multiple sequential frames of data into one (TiX560 only).
Quality optics
Fluke uses only 100% diamond-turned germanium lenses covered with a specialty coating. This is the most efficient material to transmit energy to the detector to produce high quality infrared images.
Spatial resolution
The best spatial resolution has the largest number of detector pixels within the smallest field of view. This combination is measured in mRads, and the smaller the number, the more detailed the image. Fluke thermal imagers range from 0,6 mRad (best) to 5,6 mRad, while some competitive models range up to 10,3 mRad.
