Laser Tools has added an easy to use hand-held thermal imaging camera to its range that combines the function of a surface measuring infrared thermometer with real-time thermal imaging. The device translates thermal energy into visible light on screen to enable analysis of a particular object or area.

The camera provides an on-screen image showing the actual temperature differences of a surface. This allows a technician to easily find unseen hot and cold spots for instant troubleshooting.

The camera, Part no. 6515, provides fast temperature readings without physically touching the object. It can safely measure hot, hazardous, or hard-to-reach surfaces without contaminating or damaging the object.  It also shows component outlines to aid subsequent identification of problem areas or components.

Images and data can be saved and download quickly via the removable microSD card or it can be connected straight to a PC or laptop.

The Laser 6515 also features a UV leak detector function for detecting leaks in cooling systems and air-conditioning systems when a suitable UV indicator dye is used.

Automotive applications include, inspecting for irregular friction, overheating from mechanical misalignments, binding bearings or brake components, heated seat element malfunctions, checking vehicle heating and air-conditioning systems, engine radiator and thermostat function, exhaust manifolds, injector/cylinder malfunctions, diesel engine glow-plug malfunctions, high resistance in high-current wiring and hot electrical connection issues.

The thermal imaging camera is available now from Laser Tools stockist. You can also see the tool in action on the Tool Connection YouTube channel at the link below.
