Infrared cameras can be used in a wide variety of applications from troubleshooting and diagnostics to preventative maintenance. IR cameras provide a quick way to see when conductors, motors and just about anything else is overheating - a sure sign that something is wrong.

Fluke is a leading manufacturer of infrared cameras with its Ti series thermal imagers. For entry level thermography, take a look at the Fluke Ti10 thermal imager and Fluke Ti25. For more powerful thermal analysis, check out the Fluke Ti40FT-20, Fluke Ti45FT-20 and Fluke Ti55FT-20. Our favorite is the Fluke Ti45FT-20 with its IR Fusion technology, which overlays a visible light image onto the thermograph for greater ease-of-use when pin-pointing components. (All 'FT' models have this capability)
