Enhancing Equipment Monitoring with Mechanical Thermography and FLIR Acoustic Imaging
Mechanical thermography inspection is a non-invasive method of inspection employed to identify changes in temperatures in mechanical systems and correct problems that cannot be seen with the naked eye. With infrared (IR) cameras, technicians can scan components like motors, bearings, pumps, and gearboxes to detect anomalies, such as overheating, misalignment, or problems related to friction. The active technique enables maintenance personnel to integrate corrective measures before a small problem snowballs into a system-level outage. Thermographic inspection is time-saving, decreases equipment downtime, and prolongs overall equipment life, hence its indispensability in modern industrial plants. Introduction to FLIR Acoustic Imaging Cameras The FLIR acoustic imaging camera is an advanced diagnostic device that identifies leakage as well as mechanical and electrical blow-ups through sound waves. These cameras depict the sound in a visual manner that problems in areas such as air leakage...
