Fluke Corporation: A Brief Overview and Historical Context

Fluke Corporation logo - RF CafeFluke Corporation is a global manufacturer of electronic test and measurement equipment, founded in 1948 by John Fluke Sr., a former employee of the General Electric Company, in Seattle, Washington, USA. The company was initially known as John Fluke Manufacturing Company.

John Fluke's initial focus was on designing and manufacturing accurate and reliable measurement instruments. In 1953, Fluke introduced its first product, the Model 803 Voltage Detector, which was designed to detect the presence of voltage in electrical circuits.

Over the next few decades, Fluke Corporation continued to expand its product line, introducing a wide range of electronic test and measurement equipment, including multimeters, oscilloscopes, signal generators, and thermal imaging cameras.

In the 1960s, Fluke Corporation expanded its product line to include clamp-on meters, which allowed electricians and technicians to measure current without breaking the circuit. The company also developed the first battery-powered portable oscilloscope, which was widely used in the telecommunications industry.

In the 1970s, Fluke Corporation introduced the first digital multimeter, which could measure multiple electrical parameters with high accuracy. This product revolutionized the industry and quickly became a best-seller. In the 1980s, the company continued to innovate with products such as the first hand-held thermal imaging camera for industrial use.

In the 1990s, Fluke Corporation introduced a range of test and measurement products for the data communications and networking industry, including cable testers, fiber optic testers, and LAN analyzers. In 1998, the company was acquired by Danaher Corporation, a leading manufacturer of industrial and consumer products.

Today, Fluke Corporation is a global leader in the test and measurement industry, with a wide range of products that include digital multimeters, thermal imagers, insulation testers, power quality analyzers, and more. The company continues to innovate and develop new products to meet the changing needs of its customers.
