i-Series thermal imaging cameras new from Flir Systems Australia
Completing a 2-year transformation of its model range, FLIR Systems
has released three new FLIR i-Series thermal imaging cameras - the i40, i50, and i60.
According to FLIR, the affordable i-Series cameras offer best-in-class infrared
diagnostic capabilities for commercial applications.
The i-Series cameras support electromechanical applications and will occupy the
segment of the market between the new, high volume FLIR i5 camera and the higher
performance T-Series range.
The new FLIR cameras set new benchmarks in temperature measurement and accuracy
because of the adjustable emissivity feature built into the i-Series cameras and
thermal sensitivity better than 0.1 degree C.
This ability to adjust for emissivity and reflectivity seen in objects such as
shiny metal, plastics, wood and many other industrial environments provides for
true accuracy in temperature measurements.
Leveraging FLIR's global leadership in infrared technology, the i-Series introduces
several features not previously found at this price point including:
- Infrared detectors ranging from 120 x 120 to 180 x 180 pixels.
- A built-in visual camera with up to 2.3 megapixel resolution.
- FUSION scalable picture-in-picture capabilities.
- A 5-hour swappable Li-Ion battery.
- Lightweight (600g) ergonomic design.
The new camera series was designed by FLIR's Thermography Division in Sweden,
and utilises FLIR's own high-performance infrared sensors.
"The introduction of the FLIR i-Series product family is the most recent
addition to a line-up that has undergone a complete transformation in the last
two years and highlights FLIR's continued commitment to leadership in the
thermography market," said Roger Christiansz, Managing Director FLIR Systems
Australia.
"We are excited about the impact this new line-up will have on our continued growth."
Earl Lewis, President and CEO of FLIR Systems, Inc; "As we approach 2009, the
Thermography Division will present the strongest line-up of products it has ever
brought to our industrial markets and it is completely unmatched by any of our
industrial competitors."
The new i-Series is complemented by the FLIR b40, b50 and b60 cameras, designed
to support the growing use of infrared cameras as building diagnostics tools.
The b-Series product introductions reflect a growing emphasis FLIR is placing
on products that can be used to improve energy efficiency in buildings.
"With the focus we have placed on building diagnostics and gas detection infrared
cameras, FLIR's products help reduce our dependency on oil and reduce carbon
emissions," Mr Lewis said.
