Fluke TiX580 Infrared Camera for Advanced Thermal Inspection

The Fluke TiX580 is a high-performance infrared camera designed for professionals who need detailed thermal images, flexible positioning and advanced temperature analysis in demanding industrial environments. Its 640 × 480 infrared detector captures 307,200 pixels, while on-camera SuperResolution combines four times the pixel data to produce images up to 1280 × 960.

Flexible Imaging for Difficult Inspection Positions

The TiX580 features a 240° articulating lens and 5.7-inch capacitive touchscreen, allowing users to inspect equipment from above, below and around obstacles while maintaining a comfortable viewing position.

The standard lens provides a 0.93 mRad spatial resolution and 1065:1 D:S ratio, supporting detailed inspection of electrical, mechanical and process equipment. Optional wide-angle and telephoto smart lenses provide additional flexibility for different inspection distances and fields of view.

Advanced Thermal Imaging and Focusing

The TiX580 combines multiple technologies to improve image quality and measurement efficiency:

• 
  640 × 480 infrared detector
  
• 
  1280 × 960 SuperResolution
  
• 
  MultiSharp™ Focus
  
• 
  LaserSharp® Auto Focus
  
• 
  Built-in laser distance meter
  
• 
  2x, 4x and 8x digital zoom
  
• 
  5 MP visible-light camera
  
• 
  IR-Fusion® Picture-in-Picture and full-screen modes
  
• 
  AutoBlend™ thermal and visible image blending
  
• 
  High, low and isotherm temperature alarms
  
• 
  Hot and cold spot detection
