‘Thermal Imaging’

An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release Thermometers feature advanced signal processing from Ircon, which we summarised at the time by saying "Ircon has introduced the Modline 6 Series of infrared thermometers with advanced signal processing and background-reflected energy compensation capabilities. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Ansys software helps Ferrari improve comfort from Ansys: "Italian car manufacturer Ferrari is using software from Ansys to optimise automobile design and performance.".

In November 2009, we covered the news from Sherborne Sensors - take a look at Sherborne announces MEMS inclinometers which says: "Sherborne Sensors has announced the launch of the T700 series, a high-precision range of compact, DC-operated solid-state MEMS inclinometers. ".

Take a look also at the news release from Endevco, Pressure transducers measure up to 20,000psig, as well as Dassault Systemes releases latest PLM 2.0 platform from Dassault Systemes, and Fluke offers trial promotion of Ti9 thermal imager from Fluke (UK).
