Volume 7  Issue 6 – June 2018

Director’s Message

In any technology, change is inevitable. Advances in infrared imager technology now provide thermographers with new equipment choices on a semiannual basis. With more choices than ever, it is important for thermographers to be able to determine when they should upgrade their imager.

Following the recent introduction of high resolution (~ 640 x 480 pixels) imagers, many have suggested that thermographers with older imaging systems could suffer a loss of business to those with newer equipment. While increased resolution may seem desirable, of greater importance is matching infrared equipment to the task at hand. For imaging large objects or imaging at close range, imagers with lesser resolution may be sufficient to the task.

In addition to improved image quality, there are technical and sound business reasons to consider an upgrade. These include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Increased portability, functionality, and/or ease of use
  • Improved measurement accuracy
  • Better availability of service, parts, and calibration
  • New business opportunities afforded by new equipment
  • Customer demand for new features and benefits

Depending upon the age of existing equipment, there may be financial advantages to upgrading or acquiring new equipment. Typically, a professional accountant can offer the best advice in this area.


Thermal Imagers for Sale

One of the many features found at our content-based website IRINFO.ORG is the Equipment for Sale section. Here you will find ads for several pre-owned thermal imagers and accessories along with contact information for each seller.

If you are looking to sell an imager, you may list it for FREE in the Equipment for Sale section.

IRINFO.ORG is a resource for thousands of thermographers and listing your equipment ensures that it is seen by likely buyers. Due to the dynamic nature of our classified ads, we recommend that you bookmark the page and visit often.
