In the field of Fluke infrared thermal imaging, there is a classic product that has been sold for more than ten years - VT04 visual infrared thermometer. Now, Fluke has listened to its customers and explored their needs, and has given the Fluke VT06 and VT08 Compact Thermal Imaging Cameras an instant hit.
Its appearance has built a bridge between infrared point temperature and infrared thermal image, and has been highly praised by engineers for its excellent cost performance. Today, we are very honored to have an electrical engineer working in the ferrous metallurgical industry to see how he can solve the problem for the company with this small and lightweight Fluke VT08!
VT08 unboxing
The Fluke VT08 Lightweight Thermal Imaging Camera is packed with a sponge-lined interior that protects the camera from scratching during transportation.
The package contains (main unit, charger plug, data cable, hazardous substance form).
The overall design still adopts Fluke's classic yellow and black color matching, the whole machine is exquisitely made, comfortable to hold, and soft buttons.
VT08 on-site measurement
High-current switch inspection
The medium frequency power supply on metallurgical equipment is used to switch the high current switch of the melting and stirring function, and the Fluke VT08 is used to check whether the high current switch is in good contact.
Thermal imaging camera analysis software is used
By importing the thermal image into the FlukeVT08's dedicated camera analysis software, a 3D map of the temperature distribution area of the infrared image can be generated.
Water-cooled cable inspection
Inspecting a water-cooled cable with a thermal imaging camera can tell if the cable is overheating or broken.
Transformer inspection
The thermal imaging camera checks the transformer's secondary terminals, and the transformer's operating temperature is normal.
Power transformer inspection
The company's newly invested power transformer uses a thermal imaging camera to check the connection of the secondary copper bar
Check the power transformer for one input 10kv high-voltage terminal.
Inspection of the motor of the pre-pump of the vacuum equipment
The operation of the pre-pump motor of the vacuum equipment was inspected, and the maximum temperature was measured to be 39.7, and the operation was normal.
Pump motor inverter inspection Check the three-phase electric operation balance of the input of the inverter of the pump motor.
Metallurgical equipment catchment discharge and return water temperature inspection
Inspect the temperature of the catchment discharge and return water of the metallurgical equipment, and the Fluke thermal imaging camera can see that the temperature on the far left side of the catchment drain is higher than the temperature of other waters, and it is suspected that there is a blockage.
In addition to on-site measurements, thermal imaging camera analysis software can be used to generate reports and then issue maintenance plans to prevent accidents from escalating and causing production stoppages.
Screenshot of the software, the operation is relatively simple, and it is very convenient for users who need it.
VT08 user experience
After a few days of hands-on use, I feel that this camera is compact, easy to carry, the operation interface is also very user-friendly, and the camera focuses on the imaging time very quickly.
The built-in lithium battery can not be replaced in time, although it is a little inconvenient, but the use of type-c interface charging, it is also considered to keep pace with the times, if there is no power when in use, you can take out the power bank in your hand to quickly charge and use, maybe the manufacturer has considered the use of built-in battery at the beginning of the design to save the internal design space, in order to add more practical functions, to solve more problems for the majority of Fluke users.
The software experience supports Chinese, which is very good, the functions inside are also very practical, and it is also very convenient to issue maintenance reports, and there are some deficiencies in the setting without font enlargement selection, I hope the next software update can solve this problem.
Overall, Fluke's new VT08 portable thermal imaging camera is still accurate, durable, and safe.
What problems did VT08 help you solve
When using Fluke VT08 to inspect the temperature of the catchment and return water of metallurgical equipment, it is found that the temperature on the left side of the catchment drainage pipe is higher than that of other waters.
