Acoustic Cameras by HIKMICRO
Reliably detect compressed air leaks and partial discharges with the HIKMICRO AI Series. Real-time localization, automatic leak rate measurement and instantly documentable findings.
Acoustic Imaging for Industrial Inspection and Maintenance
The HIKMICRO AI Series are professional acoustic imaging cameras for detecting compressed air leaks in pressurized systems and partial discharges in electrical high-voltage installations. With up to 136 low-noise MEMS microphones and an adjustable bandwidth of 0 to 96 kHz, both models locate sound sources in real time and display them on a 4.3-inch LCD touchscreen.
MOTEX Teile GmbH supports you in selecting, technically evaluating and procuring the right acoustic camera for your application.
Real-Time Sound Localization
Sound sources are displayed live as an overlay on the camera image. Detection range from 0.3 m to 150 m.
Live Leak Cost Display
Estimated leak rate, leak costs and leak level are shown directly on the display.
Partial Discharge Detection
Corona, floating, surface and particle discharges are automatically identified at 50/60 Hz.
Efficiency gain in practice: Compared to conventional leak detection and partial discharge testing equipment, an acoustic imaging camera typically reduces inspection time by up to 90%. The device is ready to use immediately and requires no extensive training.
Applications of the HIKMICRO AI Series
The camera covers two independent inspection tasks that previously required separate tools.
COMPRESSED AIR SYSTEMS
Gas Leak Detection
The AI Series filters out ambient noise and makes compressed air leaks visible even in the loudest production environments. Leak rate, damage costs and leak level are displayed directly on screen, without having to shut down the system.
- Compressed air lines and valves
- Compressors and pneumatic components
- Tanks, flanges, fittings
- Minimum leak rate from 0.0047 l/min (AI76, 6 bar, 0.5 m)
- Use during ongoing operation
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATIONS
Partial Discharge Detection
In partial discharge mode, the AI Series identifies weak points in high-voltage installations before they lead to equipment failure. Findings are immediately classified on the display and can be documented for maintenance reports.
- Corona discharge
- Floating discharge
- Surface discharge
- Particle discharge
- Automatic detection at 50/60 Hz (AI56, AI76)
