Comtest has introduced the Fluke TiS60+ with Fluke IR-Fusion technology that allows users to see things that are invisible to the eye and reveal problems that cannot be detected with other tools. The unit establishes a baseline for equipment and is simple for the entire team to use to detect temperature differences from further away. The instrument further boosts team performance with an impressive image resolution of 320 x 240. The infrared images taken with the TiS60+ capture smaller temperature differences from further away. So, if users are new to thermal imaging, or if the camera is being used by a team with varying levels of thermal imaging experience, the TiS60+ offers easy-to-use fixed focus. Some of the key features of the TiS60+ are:
• 320 x 240 resolution for clarity and image details that are crucial for a good result.
• 9 cm LCD screen allows for easy in-field problem recognition.
• Fixed focus means the Fluke TiS60+ is easy to use, just point and shoot.
• Temperature: up to 400°C can be measured, which covers most application variations.
• One-handed image capture, review and save capabilities.

IR-Fusion technology automatically captures a digital visible light image at the same time as an infrared image. The camera blends the two images together, pixel for pixel, in a single display. Users can then view the image in full infrared, full visible light, or at several degrees of blending in between. The location of an infrared target can be precisely identified even if the infrared contrast is low and there is very little structure in the infrared image.
Fluke’s TiS60+ thermal camera is compatible with Fluke Connect with its modern visual design and intuitive navigation, making it easy to work faster. Simplified workflow and reporting, as well as better report templates, are all part of Fluke Connect’s powerful, easy-to-use software.

Maintenance, Test & Measurement, Calibration
Microdieseling is a pressure-induced thermal degradation mechanism in which entrained air bubbles are compressed so rapidly that the surrounding oil ignites, producing soot, varnish and sludge. WearCheck explains how it happens, why the damage varies, and how oil analysis detects it.
