Thermal imaging cameras for metals

The short-wave thermoIMAGER TIM M-05 and TIM M-1 thermal imaging cameras are mainly used in the metal processing industry. Due to its short-wave measuring wavelength, these infrared cameras are ideal for temperature monitoring during melting, hardening and forming processes.

Characteristics

Measuring ranges from 450 °C to 2450 °C
Highly dynamic CMOS detector
Frame rates up to 1 kHz for fast processes

Compact infrared camera temperature measurement of molten metal – thermoIMAGER TIM M-05

The thermoIMAGER TIM M-05 thermal imaging camera is designed for non-contact temperature measurement of molten metal and metallic surfaces from 900 °C to 2450 °C. As well as compact size, USB interface and license-free software, the new TIM M-05 series features a wavelength range of 500nm to 540nm minimizing measuring errors due to unknown or changing emissivity. The frame rate of 1kHz and high optical resolution enable optimal adaption to the respective application.

Compact infrared camera for temperature measurement of metal surfaces – thermoIMAGER TIM M-1

The thermoIMAGER TIM M-1 thermal imaging camera is designed for non-contact temperature measurement of hot metals in the 450°C to 1800°C range. As well as the well-known advantages of thermoIMAGER infrared cameras such as their compact size, USB interface and license-free software, the new TIM M-1 series offers several unique selling points. Compared to other thermal imaging cameras for metals, the temperature measuring range of 450°C to 1800°C is usable entirely and without sub-ranges. There is no need for any measuring range switchovers and the camera is significantly more flexible in its use.

Characteristics

Measuring ranges: 450 to 1800°C / 500 to 1800°C / 600 to
1800°C
Optical resolution: 764 x 480 pixels
Spectral range: 0.85 – 1.1µm
Lenses: 16 mm, 25 mm, 50 mm, 75 mm focal length
Image frequency: 27Hz up to 1kHz
Supply and operation via USB
Extremely lightweight, robust and compact
Analog input and output, process interface
Robust design (protection class IP67), optional cooling jacket

The powerful sensor electronics not only enable process thermography but also the output of temperature data of the center pixel at 1kHz and so can also be used as a pyrometer. The TIM M-1 thermal imaging camera is primarily used for temperature monitoring of hardening and forming processes for hot metals but also for processing graphite and ceramics.
