Flir i50 Series Thermal Inspection Camera

More and more people are switching on to infrared for inspection and it’ s easy to see why.

A thermal imaging camera allows problems to be seen that are invisible to the naked eye resulting in quicker and more efficient fault finding.

Global market leader, FLIR, has been a major contributor to this take-up by developing affordable infrared products that have the right balance of functionality and cost. And now with the introduction of its new Flir i50 the entry level choice has never been more comprehensive.

FLIR now offers a complete range of compact infrared cameras providing different grades of functionality and an effective upgrade path for newcomers to the technology. The new Flir i50 camera is designed for those needing higher resolution and more features and for whom documentation of findings is important. It is characterised by its ease of use, portability and excellent feature to price ratio.

The new Flir i50 fits into FLIR’ s compact range of IR cameras above the pocket sized FLIR i5 and its higher performance counterpart, the InfraCAM® SD.

The Flir i50 is a powerful instrument with a choice of measurement modes. It has a 140 x 140 infrared resolution at an excellent sensitivity. This model is also the first of the FLIR compact range cameras to incorporate a 2.3mpixel visual camera. For ease of transfer and compatibility it stores up to 1000 standard jpeg images onto its micro SD card. This means the images can be viewed in other common softwares. All stored images are easy to view via a thumbnail gallery in the camera.
What really sets it apart from the competition however is its size and weight, just 600g.

Other features on this new model are Picture-in-Picture image fusion that enables the operator to see an infrared image super-imposed on a visual image. It also includes built-in laser pointer and LED lamps for inspection in low light areas. A long life, exchangeable battery provides for up to 5 hours of continuous operation.

In common with the entire range the new Flir i50 is IP54 rated making it suitable for use in harsh industrial environments. It also benefits from all of its critical elements being designed and manufactured in-house by FLIR.

These include the detector and lens as well as dedicated electronics and software. This degree of vertical integration remains unique in the industry and one that ensures the production of high quality and reliable products.
