Micro-Epsilon introduce latest equipment
Micro-Epsilon (UK) Ltd have launched a new range of temperature sensing equipment, including the thermoMETER PI (process imager) – a rugged, inline, infrared thermal imaging camera that provides temperature images and profiles of a target area.
The plug-and-play device is compact (45mm x 45mm x 62mm) and lightweight (250g), allowing easy mounting in restricted spaces. The camera is protected to IP65 (NEMA-4) and is powered (5VDC) via a USB 2.0 interface, with a maximum current draw of 500mA.
Rather than being a handheld thermal imaging camera, the Micro-Epsilon camera can be fixed into position in a production process or research and development laboratory to monitor the temperature profile of target materials or objects.
Free software – which allows users to configure the adjustable parameters of the PI and capture (up to 100Hz full frame rate) and store images or an event for playback at a later date – is included as standard.
Another newly launched product from Micro-Epsilon is the thermoMETER CT laser 3M – a infrared temperature sensor that measures at a short wavelength of 2.3um for all temperature measurements between 50°C and 600°C.
With a start temperature of 50°C, the sensor measures the temperature of metals or composites while processing at room temperature. The short wavelength also allows measurements to be taken through glass or transparent plastic windows, a common task in the latest laser welding or lighting systems.
Major features of the sensor include precision double laser sighting, good optical resolution (100:1), a minimum spot size of 0.7mm, and a favourable price/performance ratio. The double laser sighting system has two laser beams, which precisely follow the infrared optical path, marking at any distance the real spot size.
