Thermography
Thermography - Targeted analysis of the smallest details Temperature differences
Precise visualization and analysis of thermal processes
As experts in Temperature visualization and analysis offers the Anton Klocke Antriebstechnik GmbH customized services for preventive maintenance, fault diagnosis and Quality assurance To your machines and equipment.
With state-of-the-art Thermal imaging technology We can detect even the smallest temperature differences with the highest accuracy. This precise recording enables the Identification of thermal patterns, leaks and hot spots – Areas that remain invisible to the human eye. Through the targeted analysis of thermal anomalies, Disruptions, downtime and consequential damage avoided early on will – for maximum operational safety and efficiency.
Applications of thermography
Our thermal imaging technology is used across industries, including in the following areas:
- Electrical systems: Inspection of switchgear, wiring connections and fuses for overheating
- Mechanical systems: Early detection of bearing wear, friction heat, and uneven load distribution
- Production and conveying systems: Detecting heat accumulation, leaks, and inefficient heat transfer
- Quality assurance in manufacturing processes: Control of thermal uniformity in components and assemblies
- Building technology: Analysis of thermal insulation, thermal bridges and energy losses
Our expertise in thermal imaging technology
Our expertise in the industrial thermography It enables contactless, fast and comprehensive analysis of temperature distributions in running systems.
We use this technology specifically to:
- Sources of error to detect in electrical, mechanical or thermal systems
- Variations in the thermal image to be reliably interpretable
- Maintenance measures Plan for prevention
- and Process stability to secure it permanently
Process and procedure
- Data collection: Thermal imaging measurement of machines, systems or assemblies in operation
- Analysis: Evaluation of the thermograms and identification of abnormal temperature patterns
- Rating: Classification of the found deviations according to criticality
- Recommendation: Creating a precise action plan to rectify or monitor
- Documentation: Providing a meaningful thermography report for quality assurance
- One step ahead with thermography
Through the targeted use of thermal imaging technology, not only acute vulnerabilities are identified, but also long-term trends in the thermal behavior of your systems are made visible. These findings are directly incorporated into your operations management system. Maintenance and production planning one – for more Reliability, energy efficiency and process stability.
With our Modern thermal imaging camera and decades of experience in industrial application technology are at your disposal solution-oriented, reproducible analyses, that lead to measurable added value.

FAQ - Thermography
What typical errors or limitations are there in thermography inspection, and how can they be avoided?
Typical sources of error include incorrect emissivity, reflective metal surfaces, ambient radiation, or insufficient focusing. By carefully adjusting and using appropriate measurement conditions, the accuracy can be significantly increased.
When is it advisable to use thermography – during ongoing operation or only when machines and systems are at a standstill?
Thermography in industrial plants can often be carried out during operation, as it is non-contact and detects hot spots, leaks, or friction heat early on.
What measurement accuracy can be achieved with thermography and which influencing factors are relevant?
When using thermal imaging technology, factors such as emissivity, distance from the measurement object, ambient conditions, and reflections must be taken into account.
