Fluke has announced the release of a trio of new Fluke high-definition, industrial-performance digital cameras, the Ti400, Ti300 and Ti200. Equipped with LaserSharp auto focus, while not new technology, Fluke has taken it a step further, guaranteeing perfectly focused images, every time. (Users of infrared camera technology rate focus as the single most important factor when conducting an infrared inspection.) Without an in-focus image, temperature measurements are not accurate and problems could be overlooked. The LaserSharp auto focus technology on these Fluke IR cameras, indicates exactly where the focal point is by using a laser to calculate the distance to the target, before it focuses. It simply requires that the user places a red laser dot on the equipment to be inspected; the trigger is then pulled and released, delivering a perfectly focused image.
Wireless measurement capture
The Ti 400 range features wireless connectivity enabling the cameras to connect with other wireless devices. Free firmware allows for the capture of up to five additional measurements with the CNX Wireless system directly to a PC, Apple iPhone or iPad. These additional measurements help diagnose problems faster and provide additional data to create more comprehensive reports. Field installable telephoto and wide-angle lenses are available for added versatility in special applications. Voice annotation makes pen and paper obsolete. Other features include:
* High resolution 640x480 capacitive touch screen.
* High-temperature measurement (up to 1200°C on the Ti400).
* Voice recorded annotation of additional details saved with the image file.
The Fluke Ti 400 range allows users to create an inspection report on-site and forward the findings via iPhone/iPad. The image can be adjusted to present problems effectively. Markers and other tools can be used to indicate or quantify the severity of the problems. Inspection results can be shared by emailing images or reports in order to plan next steps or gain approval for work done before leaving the job site, or get assistance in analysing the problem.

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.
