Fluke 568-2 Infrared & Contact Thermometer – Extended-Range Dual-Mode Temperature Measurement | Fluke 56x Series
Imagine a critical motor bearing running hot on the production floor at 2 a.m. — no safe way to touch it, no time to wait for a specialist. Without a reliable infrared and contact thermometer, technicians are forced to guess, delay, or risk injury. Undetected overheating leads to unplanned downtime, damaged equipment, and costly emergency repairs that cascade across the entire production line. The Fluke 568-2 eliminates that risk by putting precise, non-contact and contact temperature measurement in a single, rugged instrument built for the harshest industrial environments.
Within Fluke’s renowned 56x Series of professional infrared thermometers, the 568-2 occupies the top tier — offering the widest temperature range, dual-mode measurement capability, and the measurement accuracy that global maintenance engineers trust. Fluke is the benchmark brand in electronic test and measurement, and the 568-2 is the instrument of choice for heavy industry, power generation, HVAC, and process manufacturing worldwide.
