New Thermal Imager Aimed at the MRO Sector
If you are working in the MRO sector servicing machinery and plant, thermal imagers are essential tools that help you pinpoint any issues at a very early stage, thus preventing costly damage. The Conrad Sourcing Platform supplies a large variety of IR cameras.
The Voltcraft WB-500 IR camera comes with a range of features that enable detailed thermal analysis of machinery, plant and buildings.
- High frame rate (50 fps) ensures non-blurry images of moving parts of equipment
- Excellent thermal resolution allows in-depth data analysis
- Detailed remote inspection of buildings
Right in time for the 40th anniversary of the brand, Voltcraft have released their latest industrial-grade WB 500 infrared camera packed with a comprehensive set of features specially designed for preventive maintenance and building inspection. Accurate readings, image sharpness and image fusion: Voltcraft’s WB 500 IR camera comes with high-tech features suitable for tackling the most challenging tasks.
Moving and Remote Objects
The WB 500 takes images at 50 fps. This ensures that thermal recordings of moving objects are in focus, thus, enabling the inspection of equipment in operation. However, the WB 500 is equally suitable for taking readings of large objects, and that from a considerable distance, which makes the product the perfect choice for building inspections.
IR Lens Ensures Image Sharpness
Taking in-focus thermal images is crucial as blurriness might result in inaccurate temperature readings. This is why the WB 500 designers decided to make the adjustment of the image sharpness a manual procedure. However, a built-in laser rangefinder covering distances from 5 cm to 30 m helps users set up the imager.
Image Fusion and Video
Making sense of multi-coloured IR images can be hard at times. The WB 500 takes care of this by providing an image fusion option, namely, blending visible and thermal images, which makes identifying hotspots easy for pros and non-experts alike. Moreover, the WB 500 doesn’t just take still frames. The product comes with audio/video that also enables wireless live streaming of footage using Wi-Fi.
High-resolution Bolometer Matrix
Any analysis of complex thermal issues needs to be based on a set of reliable data. The WB 500 comes with a 384 x 288p bolometer matrix, and an 80 mK thermal sensitivity, which makes sure that the product is suitable for the most challenging of tasks out there. “The new Voltcraft thermal imager features the latest technology and a range of innovative functions specially aimed that the industrial sector,” explains Kilian Braun who works as a product manager at Conrad Electronic. “Moreover, you can order a product that’s calibrated to the industry standards of your choice.”
Simplified Data Collection and Analysis
Since the product comes with a 32 GB memory card slot and both a USB and HDMI port, the readings can be easily transferred to other devices. What’s more, the delivery includes an 8 GB micro-SD GB card. As Kilian Braun puts it: “Excellent usability and a comprehensive set of features that add genuine value were at the top our priority list when we were developing this particular product. To make it the ideal choice for MRO and building service engineers.”
