Thermography of distant objects
See all the details – even at great distances.
Checking the clamp connection on the isolator
Long distances to the measurement object require either a reduction in distance or superior technology. In many situations, measuring technology is the tool of choice: after all, faulty connections on high-voltage lines cannot be examined up close.
For this type of remote application, only a very high-resolution detector and a high-quality telephoto lens can provide the necessary level of detail on the thermal image – and thus enable meaningful analyses to be carried out.

When "getting as close as possible" is simply not possible.
Whether it's the spatial conditions that prevent you from getting close to the measurement object or concern for your own safety: if you can't get close enough to your measurement object, you need to be able to rely on your technical equipment. When taking thermal images of distant objects, only a high-resolution infrared camera system can help, along with telephoto lenses. This is the only way to clearly detect critical temperature differences and hotspots even at a distance, and to evaluate them without errors.
