Diagnostic Thermal Imager Elite From Snap-on
Published: 15 May, 2019
The new Diagnostic Thermal Imager Elite from Snap-on uses infrared technology to reveal heat caused by friction, electrical resistance, pressure changes and more. It delivers detailed images composed of 4,800 distinct temperature zones, making extreme temperatures up to 448ºC visible anywhere under the bonnet or around the car. It also comes with a database of automotive applications, guided tests and reference images to help technicians interpret results, putting a more accurate diagnosis and productivity in clear view, on every job. When connected to Wi-Fi, every image captured with the Diagnostic Thermal Imager Elite is automatically uploaded to the new Snap-on Cloud service. Technicians can then access the images from their phone or computer whenever they need them, helping to make the next diagnosis and repair faster and more accurate.

- Snap-on Diagnostic Thermal Laser
The new Snap-on Diagnostic Thermal Laser is a two-in-one system that combines temperature readings and thermal imaging capabilities. Its use can be applied to a wider range of applications, and features both laser and thermal components. It is suitable for jobs such as checking inlet and outlet temperatures of catalytic converters. The built-in laser guide and LED light help technicians collect and store vehicle images. The laser guide also allows for measurement of temperatures up to 982°C and enables ‘delta’ readings when capturing lowest to highest temperature readings. Thermal blending lets users see images in their full context, showing the area in question highlighted by the heat reading on the 2.8in colour display.
