IR Thermal Imagers Comparison Guide

Comparison Summary

The Fluke TIX520 proves a resolution of 320 x 240. With Fluke’s SuperResolution mode, you can increase this to 4-times the data to make a 640 x 480 image, either on the camera or in the Fluke SmartView software. The screen is increased 150% over a standard 3.5” screen to 5.7”. Thermal sensitivity is 40mK and the maximum temperature is 1562F. You can combine multiple instruments via the FlukeConnect platform. Any supported meters can have their measurements synchronized with your thermal images. With AutoBlend, you can superimpose a thermal image over a visual one, either full screen or picture-in-picture. The lens can rotate 180° giving you the ability to keep your eyes on your screen while moving the lens. The minimum focus distance is 6” on the Fluke TiX520. The lenses on the TiX520 can be changed from camera to camera without the need to calibrate the camera. This allows you to expand your thermal camera as your projects warrant.

The FLIR E95 has a resolution of 464 x 348. This can be increased through UltraMax mode on the images you’ve collected, when viewed in the free FLIR Tools Software. The minimum focus distance on the FLIR E95 is a very-close 6in. The FLIR E95 has a pixel-less 4” touch-screen. You can pinch-and-zoom, as well as access the menu features, in a familiar way. If you need to see objects in the distance, there is a telephoto lens. If you need to see a large object or area, but don’t have a lot of distance, there is a wide-angle lens. All new lenses are autocalibrating, so you don’t need to send the camera in before adding them on.
