Teledyne FLIR, a world leader in the design and manufacture of thermal imaging cameras and sensors, will be showcasing its latest innovations for the mining industry at Electra Mining Africa 2024.
Teledyne FLIR will exhibit some of its thermal imaging cameras, sensors and solutions used in mining, utilities and manufacturing.
The show takes place at the Johannesburg Expo Centre from 2 to 6 September, and Teledyne FLIR will use the exhibition to shine the spotlight on solutions for mining, utilities and manufacturing professionals, with a special focus on condition monitoring and early fire detection equipment.
On Stand D20 in Hall 8, visitors can learn how they can limit downtime, improve efficiency and enhance safety using FLIR cameras – which see thermal overload in mining industry operations before it becomes critical. Outstanding image clarity supports easy hot-spot detection to prevent unscheduled downtime and improve site safety.
As an application example, mines rely on high voltage electric power for ore extraction, transportation and processing. FLIR thermal imaging cameras are powerful inspection tools which can be used to monitor the transformers that feed watering systems, refrigeration systems, mobile climate control systems and substations, on the surface and underground. They are also suitable for use in many explosive atmospheres.
At Electra Mining 2024, Teledyne FLIR will display a number of innovations dedicated to this demanding sector, such as its aluminium IP67-rated protective housings. With housing models available for FLIR A400/A500/A700 thermal imaging cameras and FLIR A50/A70 compact smart sensor cameras, the accuracy of a camera within the protective housing remains within standard specifications due to FLIR's proprietary radiometric formulas.
FLIR will also showcase its R&D kits based on its A50/A70 fixed-mount thermal cameras. These kits are an optimal option for engineers who need a complete understanding of a system’s thermal profile or need defensible thermal data to support critical decisions.
For condition monitoring and early fire detection solutions visitors should look at the FLIR A500f/A700f advanced smart sensor thermal cameras. These provide built-in on-camera analytics and alarm capabilities and combine top quality thermal imaging with edge computing and IIoT capabilities.
Other thermal imaging cameras to suit a range of applications and budgets will also be on display. The FLIR ExPro series, for example, offers up to 320 × 240 thermal resolution and vibrant imagery supported by FLIR’s patented MSX® (Multi-Spectral Dynamic Imaging). Another technology of note – FLIR Si series acoustic imaging cameras are suitable for mines looking to achieve fast detection of issues such as compressed air leaks, vacuum system leaks or electrical partial discharge in high-voltage systems. Models from the FLIR ONE series of thermal imaging cameras for iOS® or Android™ smartphones will also be on show.
Experienced Teledyne FLIR experts such as Krystle Temmerman and Adhir Ramborosa will be present throughout the show to discuss the best solutions for existing challenges and new projects.
