Low cost thermal imager

22 January 2009

Micro-Epsilon (UK) is launching a low cost thermal imaging camera for industrial applications, as well as a range of non-contact, inline process temperature sensors.
The thermoMETER PI (Process Imager) is a rugged, inline, infrared thermal imaging camera, is n comparable in terms of technical specification and performance to the latest inline thermal imagers on the market, but is around 60% of the cost.

The device is an inline radiometric thermal imager that provides temperature images and profiles of a target area. The plug-and-play device is compact and lightweight, enabling easy mounting in restricted spaces. The camera is protected to IP65 and is powered via the USB 2.0 interface, with a maximum current draw of 500mA.

Included is free software that enables users to both configure all the adjustable parameters of the PI and capture and store images or an event for play back at a later date. The Micro-Epsilon PI is fixed into position in a production process or R&D lab to monitor the temperature profile of target materials or objects.
