Fluke has introduced two new rugged 640 x 480 thermal imaging cameras – the TiX580 and Ti480 – delivering four times the resolution power of previous cameras in these categories. Building on 65 years of manufacturing the world’s top measurement tools, users can now perform thermal imaging inspections with more confidence and faster results.
The TiX580 features a 14,5 cm LCD touchscreen and a 240° rotating lens, that reveals the target, even when the user does not have the object in plain sight. The cameras use on-camera analytics for in-field analysis and offer 150% more viewing area than an industry standard 9 cm screen. The rotating lens allows users to easily navigate over, under and around objects and minimise outdoor glare.
Superior image quality
Fluke’s Professional series TiX580 & Ti480 thermal imagers feature:
• MultiSharp focus: 100% focus for every object near or far.
• LaserSharp auto focus built-in laser distance meter: calculates and displays distance from designated target with pinpoint accuracy.
• SuperResolution, 4x pixel data: captures multiple images and combines to create an 640x480 image.
• Pre-calibrated optional lenses: 2x and 4x telephoto allow for close-up or distance images.
Fluke Connect wireless connectivity
Fluke Connect’s powerful software is included. It is a comprehensive and connected software platform that represents the future of integrated equipment maintenance, monitoring, analysis and reporting. It is now easier than ever to optimise thermal images, perform analytics, generate quick, customisable, robust reports and export images in any image format into the cloud, sharing critical data, answers and additional work approvals with colleagues instantly without leaving the inspection site.

Industrial Wireless
Online teaser: Many radar sensors for collision avoidance are limited to detecting the distance, and thus only output one dimension, as a measured value. Turck Banner’s new MR15-Q80 radar scanner delivers genuine 3D data, and thus significantly improves the mapping of objects and spaces, giving developers and system engineers a greater degree of freedom.
