Find Failure Points Easily

Finding out what works – and what doesn’t – can be a destructive process, as engineers often must take systems apart to determine what failed. Thermal imaging cameras provide a reliable, accurate non-contact method for pinpointing the exact source of failures so engineers can start working on a solution.

Have the Right Benchtop Solutions

Unlike thermocouples or spot pyrometers, a thermal camera can measure thousands of temperature points across a target, showing you the entire thermal characteristics of an automotive circuit board. Together with advanced analysis software, FLIR benchtop kits offer a complete solution for automotive testing.
