Thermal-Imaging

Thermal Imaging

With increasing demands for cost reduction to remain competitive, many companies are expanding maintenance programs to include predictive and proactive technologies. One such technology is Infrared Thermography (Thermal Imaging). Used as a condition monitoring technique, thermal imaging enables users to identify potential areas of equipment failure and limit downtime. Decker Electric has the equipment and certified personnel to perform regular inspections that include scanning systems associated with critical assets - those whose failure would threaten people, property, or product. That way, you’ll have baseline images for comparison, which will help you determine whether or not a hot spot is unusual and requires repair as well as verify that repairs are successful. Our customers have realized a significant reduction in issues revealed by our Thermal Imaging Process. We can also scan roofs, steam traps, valves, gear boxes, drive couplings, drive shaft universals, belts, PLC cabinets, DCS cabinets, and motors.
