Thermography Basics Online Course
The "Thermography Basics" Online course introduces participants to the fundamentals of thermography, presents the possibilities of the procedure, and highlights the real limitations. The course discusses in detail the physical basics, the knowledge of which greatly facilitates the professional creation and evaluation of thermal images, and provides effective assistance to those planning to purchase a thermal camera in selecting the appropriate device that is truly suitable for the task at hand.
About us: We started our professional activities in 1993 and have been operating under the name PIM since 1997, providing our clients with a wide range of industrial measurement equipment, various sensors, rotating machinery diagnostic systems, machine alignment tools, as well as thermography equipment. In addition to product distribution, we offer industrial measurements, machine diagnostic expertise, laser machine alignment, dynamic balancing, instrument development, installation of complete systems, instrument and sensor calibration, and thermography services. Building on decades of experience, we have been offering professional training courses related to machine diagnostics, machine alignment, and thermography - which have been attended by thousands - for nearly two decades. In the future, we will offer professional online lectures to those interested. We carefully compile our product range with an engineering perspective based on the needs of our clients. We make sure to only distribute products whose good capabilities we have verified through our services, offering only instruments and technologies that have proven themselves in practice. We place great emphasis on ensuring that our products are delivered to our customers at favorable prices, in user-friendly Hungarian versions. This includes theoretical lectures and practical demonstrations, as well as Hungarian-language product presentations, user manuals, handbooks, computer and instrument software. Furthermore, we strive to better meet domestic needs with our own developments and self-produced products.
