December 22, 2006   IR-Fusion™ Technology

IR-Fusion Technology, only from Fluke Corporation, captures a visible light image and an infrared image together in one image to take the mystery out of IR image analysis.

To communicate critical information, infrared images only are no longer enough. With IR-Fusion technology, one can better identify details, manage and analyze images by combining both the infrared and visible light images. IR-Fusion technology simultaneously captures pixel-for-pixel infrared and visible light images. With the integrated laser pointer visible on the images, precise and accurate (faulty) component identification is very easy.

5 viewing modes:

Full IR – For troubleshooting and analyzing equipment and installations with very high resolution IR imaging.

Picture-in-Picture – For creating an IR ‘window’ surrounded by a visible light frame to easily identify thermal anomalies, while maintaining a frame of reference with surroundings (shown).

Alpha Blending – For combining visible and infrared images together in any ratio to create a single image with enhanced detail helping to precisely locate problems.

IR/Visible Alarm – For displaying only temperatures that fall above, below, or in between a specified range as IR image.

Full Visible Light – A bright, detailed pixel-for-pixel reference image of subject areas for documentation and reporting.

December 22, 2006   Commtest

Commtest is dedicated to providing the world’s best value in vibration analysis products: vibration data collectors, portable vibration analyzers and permanently installed ‘online’ machinery surveillance systems, all sharing a common interface; our admired Ascent® software.
vbSeries® instrument represents a fresh concept in vibration analysis by building into our products core functions used by veteran condition monitoring professionals. Concurrently, we present these functions in intuitive easy-to-use menus enabling first time users to be up and running in minutes, not days.

Flexible and Modular: vbOnline™
vbOnline system powered by intuitive Ascent software and permanently installed to remotely monitor your critical asset health 24/7, automatically alerting you to potential problems. vbOnline continuously monitors machinery in inaccessible environments without disrupting productivity.

Complete Vibration Analysis Package: vb3000 & Ascent
vb3000 is an all-in-one tool suitable for every analyst level, from novice to expert. Ascent software contains collective experience of over 25 years of in-depth machine fault analysis.

Inexperienced users or no established programs utilize proven baseline values: ISO standards and Technical Associates’ “The Proven Method.”

Experienced users generate meaningful spectral alarm bands automatically rather than rely on basic overall alarms or spectral band guesswork. Statistical alarm creation ensures similar machine families compare consistently against developing trends.

Veteran analysts objectively evaluate and compare findings against time-tested and proven historical foundations. Statistical alarm editing and adjusting ensures alarms remain fine-tuned for maximum usefulness.

December 22, 2006   Choose SDT for Route-Based Ultrasound Condition Monitoring

How do you manage your critical ultrasound data? DataManager from SDT gives inspectors full control over the creation and editing of ultrasonic routes for PC side management of ultrasonic condition monitoring information. Create as many different routes as necessary, each with 1000 unique and customizable points and each point capable of storing up to 4 individual data points (dBµV, Temp, RPM, dBA). When ready to venture out to the plant to record data, simply download that day’s routes (up to 128 routes can be uploaded) from your PC to the SDT 170MD handheld data collector and away you go.

All data measured with the SDT 170MD is stored to its onboard memory. Once back at the office simply connect the serial/USB cable to upload data to be filed, organized, analyzed, and graphed. Individual alarms can be set for each asset point. Convert DataManager graphs and lists to Microsoft Excel with one mouse click.

Only SDT brings true full function route creation and data collection to a growing community of ultrasound inspectors.

December 22, 2006   Mikron Infrared’s Revolutionary DualVision Technology

What is DualVision? It’s Mikron’s smart combination of infrared and visual images, allowing thermographers to more easily pinpoint a problem’s exact location.

7600PRO Premium Inspection

Mikron Infrared’s premium inspection/PPM camera, the MikroScan 7600PRO, has revolutionary DualVision technology. It displays a thermal image over a visual image on its sizeable LCD screen. Both infrared and visual images can be saved to a removable/commercially available Compact Flash card.

The 7600PRO is an extremely lightweight camera, fully-radiometric, with built-in visual recording capabilities. Linking high-definition 14-bit thermal images and visual images for easy data storage, analysis and post processing has never been more efficient!

ThermalSpection Monitoring Systems

Mikron also incorporates DualVision technology within its ThermalSpection Systems. These systems offer total solutions for remote monitoring and process control, with a combination of Mikron’s accurate M7500 infrared camera, additional detectors, environmentally-suited enclosures, Mikrospec R/T (real-time) monitoring software, system-commissioning services and continuing support.

The ThermalSpection DualVision System uses Mikrospec software to blend visual and infrared real-time images into a single image with correct aspect ratio and spatial area. The resulting composite can be viewed in any percentage of visual/IR, simply by moving a slider bar for adjustment.

The ThermalSpection DualVision Ultra adds ultrasonic detection to visual and infrared cameras. The airborne ultrasound identifies arcing and tracking--useful in electrical substation monitoring.
