Mechanical maintenance
Signs of wear in machinery often become apparent long before a malfunction, due to an increase in temperature. Possible causes are friction, incorrect adjustment, tolerances of mechanical components or a lack of lubricant. With a thermal imager, any suspicious changes can be spotted immediately. The main advantage of using thermography in a maintenance operation: it is non-contact and can therefore be carried out on all mechanical installations during operation and from a safe distance. Typical applications for the thermal imager: checking engines, checking bearings, checking shafts.
