Thermography cameras
21/02/2024
Teledyne FLIR, part of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated, has announced the focus-free FLIR E5 Pro and FLIR E6 Pro cameras, providing a larger 3.5" touchscreen display along with access to FLIR Ignite cloud connectivity within the same point-and-shoot pistol-grip form factor as legacy Ex-Series thermal cameras. The versatile cameras are designed primarily for close-up professional-grade mechanical, building and electrical thermal inspection scenarios. These include detecting water intrusion, air leaks, electrical connections, temperature differentials between equipment and impending equipment failure.
Through a built-in touchscreen, FLIR Ex Pro users can share captured images with colleagues, partners and clients over Wi-Fi via the FLIR Ignite cloud software. FLIR provides 1 GB of free storage, with the option to purchase additional annual storage subscriptions for heavy users. The FLIR Ignite cloud can be accessed anywhere from a wide variety of mobile devices, web browsers or PC desktops, eliminating the need to carry extra USB flash drives, card storage or cables. Images can be reviewed, edited, analysed and shared as files or within quick reports. Files can be synchronised with FLIR Thermal Studio software for situations requiring more advanced editing and reporting capabilities.
The FLIR Ex Pro-Series features improved 640 × 480 screen resolution, providing greater visual detail when paired with the respective 240 × 180 thermal resolution of the FLIR E6 Pro and the 180 × 120 thermal resolution of the FLIR E5 Pro. The Ex Pro-Series cameras also feature built-in 5 MP digital cameras and light-emitting diode (LED) lamps to help users better understand their inspection area and capture visual details in low light. With FLIR-patented multi-spectral dynamic imaging (MSX) capability, which overlays the edge detail of the visible camera on the thermal image, users experience greater detail and contextual awareness, even in low light, without sacrificing any thermal data. Users can also leverage new on-screen annotations to highlight key findings.
To handle the rigours of outdoor and industrial environments, the entire line of Ex Pro cameras is drop-tested up to 2 m. The ruggedised form factor also includes an IP54 rating, 25 G-shock and 2 G vibration test ratings along with a built-in lens cap for added protection.
The Ex Pro-Series cameras also feature four hours of continuous operation on one battery, which can be quickly swapped out and recharged for all-day use.
