Teledyne FLIR TG268 thermal imaging spot temperature camera

Teledyne FLIR has released the FLIR TG268 thermal imaging spot temperature camera. This next-generation thermal imager provides professionals in the utility, manufacturing, electrical, automotive and industrial sectors with a lightweight and handheld condition monitoring tool. FLIR has also introduced on-camera condition monitoring and connectivity to its METERLiNK app for file transfer to mobile devices.

The thermal imaging spot temperature camera takes users beyond the restrictions of single-spot IR thermometers to view and evaluate hot and cold spots that may signify potentially dangerous issues. Designed for the requirements of commercial electrical, facility maintenance and HVAC applications, the thermal camera cuts diagnostic time through targeted temperature acquisition (with bullseye laser capability) while simplifying repair and maintenance reporting.

Built to withstand tough operating environments, the product features an industrial design with IP54 rating, 2 m drop test, 100-bright flashlight and Type K thermocouple. Its quick boot-up time of approximately 6 s facilitates readiness for quickly checking everything from electrical connections to mechanical breakdowns.

With the thermal imaging spot camera, users can measure temperatures from -25 to 400°C with a 24:1 spot size ratio and bullseye laser pointer. The device also allows users to improve the detail of native thermal images with Super Resolution (upscaling to best-in-class 320x240).

Users can also diagnose problems fast with the FLIR-patented MSX (Multi-Spectral Dynamic Imaging) image enhancement. This enables users to add detail by embossing visual scene details on full thermal images, providing added context to target potential faults and troubleshoot repairs.

The FLIR METERLiNK app (with Ignite Sync) enables users to monitor measurements remotely (at safe distances) and document inspection data for in-the-field report generation and sharing. The app also provides a live view of data readings from up to seven paired devices.

Accessories include a wrist strap lanyard, pouch and USB Type-C cable.
