Infrared Equipment Manufacturers

The following companies manufacture Infrared imaging and temperature measurement equipment.  They either have a direct sales department or manufacture's rep agency that sells their products. If you are considering the purchase of an infrared imaging and temperature measurement instrument, there are many things to consider first.  It should be noted that generally speaking, you will get what you pay for, and good instruments are not cheap (upwards of $40,000 US).  Furthermore, the investment in an Infrared camera does not end with the purchase of the camera, it only begins!  Software will be required to produce documentation and IR PdM program management ($6,000 to $50,000 US). Key personal who will truly be committed to providing quality work must be adequately trained ($1,500 to $3,000 US per IR tech). And ongoing training is needed to keep there skills current with the developing industry.  They will need to be given time to come up to speed with the equipment and software to be able to provide the desired results.  And they will need to be allowed to continue to use the equipment on a regular bases or their skill sets will diminish.  If you do not used this type of equipment on a regular basis your ability to provide quality work will atrophy and you will get less that optimal results.  A 110% comment must be given for the long haul if you wish to truly reap the rewards by establishing an in-house program.  Total, you be looking at a cost of $100,000 to $150,000 U.S., and a serious commitment of time and resources to establish a quality program. If you cannot afford to make these kinds of commitments than you will be better off choosing to "Out Source" your infrared imaging needs to a qualified consulting company that has the resources to manage your growing IR imaging needs.
