Thermal camera as a maintenance tool / range up to 350 ºC / 160 x 120 pixels / includes software for documentation / image storage on SD card / thermal sensitivity ≤0.1 °C
The PCE-TC 31 thermal camera is the ideal tool for preventive maintenance. This thermal camera is a tool that should be part of the equipment for electricians, locksmiths, or maintenance personnel. With it, you can detect and prevent faults in electrical installations, electromechanical equipment, production process machinery, and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems. Use the high-resolution PCE-TC 31 thermal camera for preventive maintenance and to detect the evolution of faults in your machines and installations. Preventive maintenance becomes a simple task. The core of the high-resolution PCE-TC 31 thermal camera is an uncooled microbolometer (Uncooled Focal Plane Array) with a resolution of 160 x 120 pixels. The thermal camera has been ergonomically designed for one-handed operation. Thanks to its extremely low weight of only 750 g, the PCE-TC 31 thermal camera is ideal for analyzing machines and installations. In preventive maintenance, it is used, for example, to monitor rollers and bearings, or to check electrical installations (you will find more fields of use in the table at the bottom of this page). The PCE-TC 31 thermal camera operates with an accuracy of ±2 ºC or ±2 % in a temperature range of -20 to +350 ºC, with a sensitivity of less than 0.1 ºC (at 30 ºC).
The color display of the thermal camera allows you to move the two cursors to different points and read the corresponding temperature directly on-site. The thermal camera also allows you to automatically locate and indicate the hottest and coldest point of the section, and indicate the temperature difference between both points. These functions allow for immediate recognition of irregularities and taking appropriate measures on-site. The stored thermal images can be transferred to a PC using the corresponding connection cable. The shipping content includes analysis software with which you can not only analyze thermal images in depth but also generate reports; all in a straightforward manner.

Thermal camera PCE-TC 31 for preventive maintenance The thermal camera is not only used to detect insulation problems in pipes or containers. It is also used to determine the condition of machines. The thermal camera is the ideal tool for obtaining illustrative and significant results of the current state of machines, installations, and technical systems. One attention-grabbing fact is that it can perform such checks while they are in operation. This allows for timely detection of failures before the machinery has to stop, which can incur costs of up to €1000 per hour, or even more. All of this can be avoided with the use of a thermal camera. It is possible to amortize the camera in just one day.

In the field of preventive maintenance, there is a wide variety of applications for using the PCE-TC 31 thermal camera:
Preventive maintenance in the low voltage sector Infrared cameras for maintenance, such as the PCE-TC 31 model, are frequently used in electrical inspections. If electrical connections loosen, the current will have more resistance, leading to an increase in temperature. This can even cause the failure of several components. The consequences can be facility shutdowns, short circuits, or even fires. All of this incurs enormous costs. Additionally, before a failure, the effectiveness of the electrical network decreases, as energy is being wasted in heat generation, which also generates expenses. All of this can be avoided with a thermal camera, as it will detect the problem in time and allow you to take appropriate measures.
Preventive maintenance in the high voltage sector The thermal camera is commonly used to check the condition of transformers. To take preventive measures, the temperature of the fans and high-voltage connections can be compared. Other measurements in the high-voltage sector include checking current switches and switching devices, as well as high-voltage lines. The thermal image allows you to clearly identify potential problems.
Preventive maintenance in the mechanics sector
In many companies, mechanical systems are often the key components of production. In the control of mechanical installations, the thermal imaging camera can be an additional source of vital thermographic data for vibration analysis. This is why the PCE-TC 31 thermal imaging camera is an ideal tool for such preventive applications.
Used in asphalt construction
It is necessary to observe the limit values in the delivery of asphalt. The bituminous mixture must be evenly distributed to ensure a regular temperature distribution of over 150 ºC. This implies that cold mixtures should not be generated in corners. The use of the thermal camera is ideal for this type of work. The PCE-TC 31 thermal camera allows you to analyze the entire mixture quickly and easily, and detect if there are cold corners. Performing the same task with a conventional thermometer requires a lot of effort and time, as measurements must be taken at different points of the bituminous mixture. However, this is not the case with the PCE-TC 31 camera. Moreover, with the thermal camera, you can even detect cold areas during unloading. This is not possible with a conventional thermometer.
Here is a list of fields of use for the thermal imaging camera: - Bearings and boxes - Belt and chain drive - Conveyor belt rollers - Coupling systems - Radiadores - Air conditioning systems - Ventilation systems - Pipe insulation - Bombas - Compresores - Thermal insulations - Vapor separators - Valves - Sopladores - Welding robots - Electromotores - Distribution cabinets - Inspections in electrical compartments - Electrical connection problems - Fuses and overloads - Transformer cooling
