FLIR Systems launches low-cost IR thermometer
FLIR Systems, has launched what it describes as a powerful, affordable, compact imaging IR thermometer that lets you see invisible heat patterns, measure temperatures accurately, and conveniently store images and measurement data for reporting.
Built around FLIR's Lepton micro thermal imaging camera core, the TG165 is designed to eliminate the blind guesswork of troubleshooting by combining a single spot IR thermometer with the power of a thermal camera in a rugged, compact package anyone can use.
Says the company: "This unique combination of technologies speeds troubleshooting, making it easy to find invisible hot and cold spots from a safe distance so you can investigate and solve problems quickly."
The TG165 has dual lasers to visually mark the edges of what is being measured and the cross hairs pinpoint the centre point of the measurement area. The TG165 is designed to withstand a 2m drop.
"The TG165 bridges the gap between current generation IR thermometers that offer no imaging capability, and FLIR's market-leading thermal cameras," said FLIR president and CEO, Andy Teich."
