Thermal imaging camera offers advantages for metal processing

Operating at the short measurement wavelength of 1um, the TIM M1 is also claimed to provide a more accurate and stable measurement over conventional thermal imaging cameras which operate at 8-14um. This is because metals exhibit a much higher emissivity at shorter wavelengths.

Whether you currently use short-wavelength pyrometers, or have tried conventional thermal imaging cameras, the new TIM M1 is said to offer a step-change improvement in temperature measurement and control of metals.

• 1um wavelength allows more accurate and stable temperature measurement of metals
• 1ms response of centre pixel for high-speed hot metal detection
• High-dynamic CMOS detector with up to 764x480 pixel resolution
• Real-time analogue output with 1ms response time
• Full software package included and license-free
• Software functions include: in-process control, image recording and alarm outputs, and a full SDK is included
• Temperature ranges from 450 to 1800degC without sub-ranges!

New protective enclosure and cooling jacket

The new Cooling Jacket Advanced provides protection for the thermal imager from hot ambient temperatures and harsh environments:

• Air cooling up to 100degC ambient
• Water cooling up to 315degC ambient
• High-temperature Ethernet Cat 6, USB and sensor cables for up to 250degC
• Optional cable cooling for up to 315degC is available
• Exchangeable protective windows
• Quick-release chassis for easy camera removal
