COMTEST’s Cutting-Edge Industrial Temperature Control Solutions

Advertisement

COMTEST, (inc. INSTROTECH) provide test and measurement, communications, process control equipment and solutions, and specialised systems from world leading manufacturers, highlight 2 specific products for INDUSTRIAL TEMPERATURE CONTROL, FLUKE’s Ti401 thermal cameras, and OPTRIS’ Xi 80 and Xi 400.

FLUKE TI401 PRO thermal camera recently fine-tuned to make it easier for technicians, engineers, and electricians to get to the problem’s root cause faster by identifying hot spots, cold spots, and apparent surface temperature differentials with a higher degree of confidence.  These IR cameras have increased thermal sensitivity to capture minute differences and the latest Fluke technology for on-screen clarity to make it easy to visualize issues in the field. The Fluke PRO series cameras introduce a leading-edge visual infrared experience with the smartest, most intuitive user interface available to market. The units feature increased thermal sensitivity that captures the smallest measurement differences, the latest technology for on-screen clarity, and lens compatibility to capture targets – from tiny to large, giving “in-focus” images in a matter of seconds. LaserSharp™ Auto Focus uses a built-in laser distance meter that calculates and displays the distance from the designated target and immediately adjusts the focus.

• Users see small details in the image and can discover anomalies faster with 640 x 480 resolution thermal images
• The level of infrared and visible light can be adjusted (on camera) with patented IR-Fusion™ technology
• Manage data, capture multiple measurements (mechanical, electrical and thermal) and organize them with Fluke Connect™ software
• Top quality optics to transmit energy and produce high quality infrared images. Fluke thermal cameras use only 100% diamond-turned germanium lenses with specialty coatings.

OPTRIS’ Xi 80 and Xi 400 are two temperature measurement devices that combine the benefits of infrared cameras and infrared thermometers; semi-autonomous sensor which, with PC and software, also work as smart pyrometers with analog or digital outputs – seeking targets on their own.

World’s first: pyrometer with automatic spot finder function for OEM applications
The Xi series is a fusion between a robust, compact pyrometer and an advanced IR camera. The integrated spot finder function enables accurate temperature measurements in moving objects without having to readjust the sensor. Sensor adjustment takes place autonomously, i.e. without having to establish a connection with a PC. In addition to a direct 0/4-20 mA analog output, the devices also offer users digital interfaces such as Ethernet or RS485. An external processing interface permits the further processing of up to 9 freely definable analog outputs, making it ideal for OEM applications.

Motorized focus facilitates installation and use
Both Xi models are equipped with a motorized focus enabling remote focusing via the free PIX Connect software. The sensors come with a resolution of up to 382 x 288 pixels, a frame rate of up to 80 Hz and a measuring spot to distance ratio of up to 390:1. Xi devices are calibrated for temperature measurements within a range from -20 to 900 °C. Customers receive a ready-to-use package including a mounting nut, a mounting bracket, software and a connection cable.
