Infra-red cameras are an underground success
When it came to replace its obsolete infra-red cameras, UK Coal sought the best available technology for the most reasonable cost within the framework of its own stringent safety requirements.
Infra-red camera is accessible to all
One of the first orders for the ThermaCAM E25 infra-red camera was from the Glasgow Science Centre, an organisation set on making science, technology and nature accessible to all.
Priced as low as GBP 6950, ThermaCAM QuickView included, the ThermaCAM E25 will bring the benefits of infra-red thermography to many more users.
This launch poses an important question.
Why pay GBP 6950 for a lower-spec unit when, for the same price you can have a camera that is better than its competitors in virtually every respect.

The affordable, uncooled thermal imaging camera
With the introduction of the new ThermaCAM SC500, FLIR Systems is able to extend the benefits of its patented solid state microbolometer detector techlogy to the R and D community.
The new ThermaCAM E25 is more sensitive, more accurate, offers more choice and contains more standard features than any other camera within its price range.
Unlike others, the ThermaCAM E25 is IP54 rated and therefore highly robust.
It comes with a choice of lens - 9, 17 or 36mm - not just one, so it can be equipped to suit the application.
And with the E25, composite video output is a standard feature.
As the E25 captures thermal images at a speed of 50Hz - not 20Hz - it is suitable for scanning moving targets.
The focal plane array is 160 x 120 pixel, larger than its competitors, resulting in better quality thermal images being displayed on the camera's large, super-bright 63.5mm LCD.
It also offers a greater choice of palettes and a wider temperature scale: from -20C as standard and up to +900C as an option.
This fully radiometric camera is exceptionally easy to operate.
With a weight of just 700g, it can be clipped to a belt or stored in a toolbox.
In common with other E-series cameras, the E25 has in-built Laser LocatIR to help the operator associate a hot spot on the IR image with the real physical target.
This greatly enhances user safety by eliminating the tendency to "finger point" at problems in low- and high-voltage environments.
The ThermaCAM E25 is a reliable infra-red camera with basic analysis capabilities.
It has a fixed measurement spot in the middle of the image.
The camera sees temperature differences as small as 0.20C and stores up to 100 infra-red images in its internal memory.
The camera is very easy to use.
Only four buttons and a joystick control the entire camera.
The lightweight, long-life Li-ion battery ensures uninterrupted inspections and can be recharged in any vehicle, en route to the next job.
"The ThermaCAM E-series has brought the benefits of real-time infra-red imaging and measurement to many more users", concludes Paul Sacker, Sales and Marketing Manager Flir Systems.
"With the introduction of the ThermaCAM E25 price is even less of an obstacle".
"This model provides exceptionally good value for money". Request a free brochure from Flir Systems ...
