T&M and Monitoring

There is much activity in the world thermography market with the advent of toy systems available for ultra-low prices, but delivering ultra-low capabilities. Armstrong Optical Ltd of Northampton has benefited from sales at the bottom-end of an expanding market but is now extending its product offering beyond the top-end by introducing the VarioCAM® range of cameras from InfraTec GmbH of Dresden.

Although the UK has expanded its commitment to renewable energy, in the short term the emphasis remains firmly on maximising energy conservation and efficiency to meet carbon reduction targets. And this is where FLIR thermal imaging really comes into its own. It is the perfect technology for detecting energy loss and identifying its source.

STEMMER IMAGING can offer the world’s fastest GigE vision camera with 2 Mpixel HD (1080p) resolution to allow images to be transmitted at high speed and in true broadcast format. With data transmission at an unprecedented 240 MB/s through the dual GigE Vision (Link Aggregation Group technology) interface, the Prosilica GX1910 camera from AVT ensures that there is no trade off between resolution and speed.

Laser Design Inc., announces that Schneider Electric has recently made four installations of Laser Design SURVEYOR™ 3D laser scanning systems in its international network of manufacturing plants. These four systems join several other SURVEYOR scanning systems already installed around the world in China, France, India, and the U.S., whose use has significantly sped up and improved the quality inspection process on their high-precision plastic molded parts.

Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., announced the introduction of its newest FT-IR spectrometer, the Thermo Scientific Nicolet iS5, powered by OMNIC software. The spectrometer is designed for users seeking no-compromise, affordable and compact FT-IR spectroscopy to assist in their product assurance testing, basic troubleshooting and chemistry teaching.

A new family of high sensitivity CMOS cameras from IDS featuring a 1.3 MPixel sensor with a global shutter is available from STEMMER IMAGING. One of the few global shutter CMOS cameras on the market, it is not only suited to imaging fast moving objects, but offers a sensitivity 2-3 x that of conventional CMOS sensors. The new e2v sensor brings performance comparable to CCD cameras but at CMOS prices, giving outstanding price/performance.

Devoted to the development of new radiation detector and systems technology, RMD Instruments Corp. announces that its innovative LeadTracer-RoHS XRF system now can be used in solar applications to ensure RoHS compliance.

Selco Products Company has introduced the new CRA and ORA Series ½” Disc Thermostats in five stud sizes for complete mounting versatility. These snap-action thermostats feature a ceramic case for handling higher temperatures, automatic reset, and are suitable for temperature control in a variety of applications. Typical uses include fire control, UV systems, commercial food equipment, gas conditioners, furnaces, ovens, and medical equipment.

X-Rite, will demonstrate for the first time its iVue instrument for paint retailers and its complete family of MA94, 96 and 98 multi-angle spectrophotometers for manufacturers at the Eurocoat 2010 Show to be held in Genoa, Italy from 9 to 11 November.

Fisher Scientific Inc., announced the establishment of a sales and support office for microanalysis products sold in the United Kingdom, effective immediately. The office will be located at the UK commercial headquarters in Hemel Hempstead, and will focus on providing local customers with superior sales and service support within the UK marketplace.
