I need to buy thermal image camera

Mar 07, 2006 3 Replies

I am again looking at thermal image cameras to look at pc boards when loaded up.



I put lots of power into pc boards. My 30kw 240v converters are on a board. Input diodes, 3 phase IGT modules, capacitors, current sense resistors and so on. Over 100amps in tracks . I would like a camera and software package that I can print color photos with temperature legend. Camera can mount to a tripod and look at unit on bench. I prefer a stationary type of a camera rather than a handheld unit.



In the past these systems seemed to be a little too high priced. I'm hoping prices are reasonable these days. Anybody using a reasonably priced system that I should look at?


regards, Bob



Check out Irisys. Last time I checked their 256-pixel cameras were about $2k, which isn't bad.

The Fluke TI30 has 20K pixels. It was $10K, then about $6k, now it's $call. Looks like the market is heating up, so to speak.

(Strange how lots of URLs these days can't be referenced. So many people don't want to sell things!)

John, you got me all excited for a IR temperature scanner. I have seen the Fluke above, for less than $9K USD new. Great tool for power stuff. Regards, Harry
