Thermal cameras enhance condition monitoring
SKF has upgraded two of its thermal cameras, the SKF TKTI 21 and TKTI 31. The devices are said to cut costs and enhance efficiency by enabling engineers to detect potential problems before they occur.
The cameras can be used in multiple applications to spot the unusual heat patterns that indicate machine problems.
The TKTI 31, which replaces the TKTI 30, has been upgraded with a thermal detector that has 40% more pixels. With a 380x280 pixel detector, the TKTI 31 is said to have a lower cost than most other brands that offer a standard 320x240 detector.
Meanwhile, the new TK21 is 40% cheaper than its predecessor, the TKTI 20. SKF claims it is one of the best priced thermal cameras with 160x120 resolution on the market.
