Offering fire, process monitoring, and pre-explosion protection capabilities, industrial thermal imaging cameras accurately identify hot spots or overheated equipment, providing early warning to avoid equipment damage or personnel risk.
Cameras provide live and recorded video from the camera as well as a phone app with alarm push notifications and remotely controlled relays. Contact to discuss users' specific goals and Fike can help select the ideal industrial thermal imaging camera for the application, install cameras, sync with connected fire alarm control panels or PLC for equipment shutdown, and offer unmatched technical support.
Fire Applications
In fire applications, thermal imaging technology may detect:
- Manufacturing or process equipment temperature increases before equipment damage.
- Lithium or other battery over temperature before off-gassing and thermal runaway.
- An overheated engine could create a fire if reached by oil mist.
- The incipient stages of a fire in a waste management facility or outdoor storage.
combustible dust applications
In combustible dust applications, thermal imaging technology may detect:
- An overheated bearing or product on a conveyor transporting combustible materials.
- Hot spots as required by NFPA 652.
- Hot spots are found in a dust collector or other equipment that handles combustible dust.
- A belt slippage and other potential hazards are found in a bucket elevator.
Dual Thermal and Optical Monitoring
Side-by-side thermal and optical cameras allow users to pinpoint the exact location of hotspots
The rugged intelligent camera with an integrated high-performance thermal image sensor can be used in most industrial environments, explosion proof cameras and PTZ are available.
Due to the two directly adjacent lenses, side-by-side thermal and optical cameras allow users to pinpoint the exact location of hotspots like smoldering fires in a visible image.
