In-focus images

Fluke’s new Ti480 and TiX580 Infrared Cameras with 640 x 480 resolution and MultiSharp Focus are said to deliver exceptional image quality to industrial, process, utilities maintenance and building inspection professionals who need high measurement accuracy to quickly detect problems.

With the Ti480 Infrared Camera, Fluke has introduced 640 x 480 resolution into a rugged, pistol-grip form factor. The camera provides fast, one-handed operation to perform multiple inspections quickly and accurately. Now there is an 'everyday' camera, with four times the resolution power of many commonly used 320 x 240 pixel cameras, for quick point-and-shoot troubleshooting. 

The new TiX580 version features a 240° rotating screen that allows thermographers to easily navigate over, under, and around objects to preview and capture images with ease. The 5.7in screen provides 150% more viewing area than a standard 3.5in screen, enabling thermographers to quickly identify issues in the field and easily edit images directly on the camera, reducing production time back at the office.

Both cameras include MultiSharp Focus, an advanced focus system that takes multiple images with a press of a button. The camera combines them to produce one focused image of both near and far objects, delivering precision image clarity guaranteeing an in-focus image when back in the office no matter what the conditions.    

Both infrared cameras feature:

•  SuperResolution, which captures multiple images and combines them to create a crisp, sharp 1280 x 960 resolution image – four times the pixel data of a 640 x 480 image.

•  LaserSharp Auto Focus, which uses a laser distance meter to calculate the precise distance to the designated target for sharper, more accurate images.

•  Fluke IR-Fusion technology, which captures a visible light image in addition to the infrared image and combines them with three different operating modes: Picture-in-Picture, full visible light, and AutoBlend.  

•  Fluke Connect SmartView Desktop Software, for optimising and analysing thermal images, generating customisable reports and exporting images in multiple formats to the Fluke Connect Cloud. 

The new infrared cameras integrate into Fluke Connect – the company’s full-feature platform that permits Fluke tool users to receive, store, visualise, and report electronic measurement data from more than 40 Fluke Connect wireless test tools. This allows technicians to record and share thermal images, along with electrical and other measurements, in real time via their smartphones or tablets and automatically upload them to the cloud.
