Overview


Real-time, continuous quality control of manufacturing processes is possible with infrared thermography. Periodic scans can be carried out as part of the facility maintenance route, or permanent cameras can be installed to monitor conditions and automatically alarm operators.

1. Pipe Coating

 During manufacturing, infrared thermography can be used to monitor quality, such as in this pipe coating process.

2. Structural Board Manufacturing

 This image shows a board manufacturing application. The difference in moisture across the surface is evident with the infrared camera, as are inconsistencies with the brushes.

3. Pinch Roller Failure

 This pinch roller has a worn pin and has come loose. Elevated heat from the increase in friction on this continually moving component made this failure immediately obvious with the infrared camera even though it was difficult to detect with the naked eye.
