PORTLAND, OR--(Marketwire - September 5, 2007) - FLIR Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ : FLIR ) announced
today the launch of its new "middle market" T-Series thermal imaging camera
line. The T-Series platform offers thermographers in industrial and
building inspection markets an excellent combination of high performance at
an affordable price.
The new ThermaCAM T-Series features FLIR's own high-performance 320 x 240
uncooled infrared detectors and includes FLIR's new Thermal Fusion
functionality, which selectively combines thermal and visual images for
easier identification and interpretation of an infrared image. With
multiple lens options, removable storage capability, lightweight and
ergonomic design, an enhanced software platform, voice annotation, auto
focus and many other features, the T-Series offers the thermographer a
complete, cost-effective solution.
Initial ThermaCAM T-Series product variants include the ThermaCAM™
T-360 and T-400 cameras, which were designed for industrial users, and the
ThermaCAM™ B-360 and B-400 cameras, which will benefit thermographers
who specialize in building inspections.
Initial deliveries of the T-Series cameras will begin in the current
quarter.
"The introduction of the T-Series product family is an excellent addition
to an already strong product lineup and highlights FLIR's leadership in the
thermography market," said Earl Lewis, President and CEO of FLIR Systems
Inc. "With industry leading thermal imaging cameras at every price point
from the entry level InfraCAM Series to the high-definition ThermaCAM
P-Series, we believe the Thermography Division is well positioned for the
future."
