An infrared mechanical scan is a non-destructive testing method used to detect structural defects or failures in mechanical systems including bearings, gears, and shafts. This method utilizes infrared thermography to analyze temperature patterns and identify any anomalies that may indicate problems with the equipment.

The benefits of using an infrared mechanical scan include identifying problems before they result in catastrophic failures and reducing maintenance costs by identifying issues early on. This process also minimizes equipment downtime, allowing for repairs and replacements to be made quickly and efficiently.

Additionally, it provides valuable information about the equipment’s overall health, which can inform decisions about maintenance schedules and replacement timelines.

Ultimately, an infrared mechanical scan can improve equipment reliability and extend its lifespan, saving businesses time, money, and resources.

At Louisville IR, we make it our mission to provide high quality thermal scans of all types of mechanical equipment to improve the safety and efficiency of our clients systems. Give us a call today!
