New low cost thermal imager turns up the heat at MAINTEC

Visitors to this year’s MAINTEC 2009 exhibition (17-19 March 2009), will be able to see a range of new temperature sensing products from Micro-Epsilon (UK) Ltd (stand 58). These new products include 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, which is not only comparable in terms of technical specification and performance to the latest inline thermal imagers on the market, but is around 60 per cent 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 extremely compact (45mm x 45mm x 62mm) and lightweight (250g including lens and 1m USB cable), enabling easy mounting in restricted spaces. The camera is protected to IP65 (NEMA-4) and is powered (5V DC) via the USB 2.0 interface, with a maximum current draw of 500mA.
