Anyone familiar with thermal imaging cameras knows that thermal imaging cameras can be used for a variety of purposes, including monitoring substations, preventing electrical fires, and even checking for plumbing leaks in HVAC.

However, most people still do not have a deep understanding of the application field of infrared thermal imaging cameras. Therefore, in this article, we analyze the application of infrared thermal imaging cameras in the field of automation, hoping to help more people understand infrared thermal imaging cameras.

For many applications, such as parts production in the automotive or electronics industries, thermal data is critical. While machine vision software can spot production issues, it cannot detect thermal anomalies. Thermal images provide additional information for production professionals and decision-makers.

In fact, there is nothing comparable to thermal imaging cameras when it comes to non-contact accurate temperature measurement, which adds a new dimension to machine vision and is the perfect solution for applications such as non-contact accurate temperature measurement and non-destructive testing.

Process control is mainly related to the temperature measurement and/or visual inspection of specific products on the production line, and the obtained parameters are used to control and improve the process so that the product temperature or appearance meets the requirements of technical parameters. Such as ensuring quality control, determining whether the product is 100% inspected, etc. Production engineers can utilize valuable data from the production process to improve the efficiency of the entire production process.

Condition monitoring is the identification of potential problems before they occur to prevent costly and unexpected shutdowns. Typical equipment that can be monitored includes high and low-voltage equipment, turbines, compressors, and other electromechanical equipment. Sometimes it is also necessary to monitor the entire production process, as any abnormality can lead to a dangerous situation.

Fire can destroy entire premises and storage areas in a very short period of time. The value of the destroyed goods is huge, and the cost of living is even more incalculable. Although warehouses and storage areas are often equipped with fire alarm systems and fire protection systems, these systems only come into play after a fire has started. Thermal imaging cameras can detect hot spots before fires break out so that those involved can take necessary action.

Optical gas imaging thermal imaging cameras can visualize and pinpoint gas leaks, continuously scan equipment located in remote or hard-to-reach areas, and continuous monitoring means you'll be notified immediately when a dangerous or expensive gas leaks so you can take action in a timely manner.

It can be seen from the above that in automation applications, infrared thermal imaging cameras can play an irreplaceable role in five applications, including automated inspection, process control, condition monitoring, fire prevention and monitoring, and continuous optical gas imaging. And ThermTec has been committed to the research and development of more applications and performance of thermal imaging cameras.
