Fluke’s launches three non-contact IR thermometers

Everett, WA— To enable fast, safe, accurate measurements on many substances and surfaces, Fluke has released three new models of its 60 series infrared thermometers. Fluke’s 63, 66, and 68 IR thermometers feature pistol grips and a single-dot laser sighting system. They also have an intuitive user interface, ergonomic design, and single-trigger activation. When the trigger is depressed and held down, the laser illuminates, and temperature readings are continuously updated and displayed on the backlit LCD screen. Built to withstand harsh field use and three foot drops, 60 series IR thermometers are equipped with tripod mounting and a splash- and dust-resistant carrying case.

Jim Shields, Fluke’s process tools product manager, says users can efficiently, safely, and quickly take temperature readings of rotating, electrically live, dangerously hot, or hard-to-reach objects ‘without jumping through fire.’ By quickly locating potential blockages or malfunctioning systems, these thermometers can help prevent catastrophic interruptions and reduce the chance of system failures.
