When Clean is the Key to Precision
Micro molded parts are often invisible to the naked eye, measured in millimeters or fractions of millimeters, with features that can be smaller than a human hair. In this context, a single dust particle can disrupt form, fit, or function.
Why Manufacturers Must Balance Proactive Cybersecurity with Verified Recovery
Under more pressure than ever to protect their systems, many organizations are still acting on the assumption that proactive prevention will keep their operations safe and running. In reality, hackers can break through first walls of defense and wreak operational havoc.

FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection
The FLIR Si1-LD is an easy-to-use acoustic imaging camera for locating and quantifying pressurized leaks in compressed air systems. This lightweight, one-handed camera is designed to help maintenance, manufacturing, and engineering professionals identify air leaks faster than with traditional methods. Built with a carefully constructed array of MEMS microphones for high sensitivity, the Si1-LD produces a precise acoustic image that visually displays ultrasonic information, even in loud, industrial environments. The acoustic image is overlaid in real time on a digital image, allowing you to accurately pinpoint the source of the sound, with onboard analytics which quantify the losses being incurred. The Si1-LD features a plugin that enables you to import acoustic images to FLIR Thermal Studio suite for offline editing, analysis, and advanced report creation. Field analysis and reporting can also be done using the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer cloud service. Transferring of images can be managed via memory stick or USB data cable. Through a regular maintenance routine, the FLIR Si1-LD can help facilities reduce their environmental impact and save money on utility bills.
