Shop thermal imaging and inspection equipment for locating temperature differences, identifying developing equipment problems and visually inspecting areas that are difficult to access.
This category includes thermal cameras, infrared diagnostic instruments, videoscopes and related inspection tools used in electrical, mechanical, HVAC, building and industrial maintenance applications.
Thermal cameras detect infrared energy and display temperature differences that may indicate loose electrical connections, overloaded components, insulation problems, mechanical friction, HVAC issues or other abnormal operating conditions.
Videoscopes and inspection cameras provide visual access inside machinery, walls, ducts, piping and other confined or difficult-to-reach areas without extensive disassembly.
Important thermal-camera selection factors include infrared resolution, temperature range, thermal sensitivity, focus method, field of view and image-storage or reporting capabilities. Inspection-camera selection should consider probe diameter, probe length, articulation, display resolution and environmental requirements.
