Use Thermal Pictures to Keep Machines Running

| By Chemical Engineering

The RayCAm C.A 1884 thermographic camera (photo) is suitable for preventive and predictive maintenance. It can be used for all the measurements required to draw up a comprehensive maintenance reports, and is also suitable for R&D and production applications. The pistol-shaped makes it easy to handle and direct access to the functions means it can be operated with one hand. Inspection areas can be quickly and precisely targeted with a laser sight. The device can record up to 1,000 radiometric images, and can measure from as close as 10 cm away. The unit’s microbolometer detector provides a thermal accuracy of 0.1°C and a spatial resolution of 2.2 microrad. — Chauvin Arnoux, Paris, France
