An overheated motor may be an indication of electrical power problems, an underrated motor or insufficient cooling. | Temperature differences between phases may indicate unbalanced loads, harmonics, component problems, bad connections or bad wiring. |
Ball bearing running hot are an early indication of upcoming failure. | Monitoring process installations is made easy using thermal imaging. |
Maximizing return on investment
Implementing a predictive maintenance program using the Fluke Ti20 can significantly reduce unplanned production downtime, resulting in better labor productivity, reduced scrap and smaller replacement part inventory. Establishing an effective IR predictive maintenance program is straightforward, and the InsideIR software facilitates creating inspection routes that can be uploaded to the instrument. With clear step-by-step on-camera routing instructions, any maintenance technician can perform the inspection.
Inspection routing – improving maintenance performance
An inspection route details the sequence and physical route of equipment that needs to be inspected at regular intervals. The InsideIR software facilitates setting up such an inspection route using location names, inspection notes and key thermal image parameter data. This information can be uploaded to the imager for use as a routing guide. During an inspection, the on-camera instructions prompt the user through the series of locations to be scanned.
Powerful InsideIR Software
The Fluke Ti20 comes with the powerful InsideIR software for storing and analyzing thermal images and creating professional reports. The software makes it possible to adjust key parameters in a stored image downloaded from the camera such as emissivity, reflected temperature compensation, level, gain, and color palette in the comfort, quiet and safety of the office. This not only improves inspection safety and convenience, but also makes it unnecessary to re-scan equipment if different settings are desired in a previously captured thermal image.
Complete package
The Fluke Ti20 comes as a complete package. There is no need to buy additional tools to set up or expand a predictive maintenance program.
