The thermoIMAGER TIM M-08 thermal imaging camera is designed for non-contact temperature measurements during laser processing. In addition to the well-known advantages of thermoIMAGER infrared cameras such as their compact size, USB interface and license-free software, the TIM M-08 camera can be continuously used in a temperature range from 575 ºC to 1900 ºC without any interruptions. Therefore, this camera offers a high degree of flexibility as it is not necessary to switch the measuring range.

The special narrow-band spectral sensitivity at 800 nm makes the short-wavelength infrared camera ideal for almost all NIR and CO2 laser processing applications.

Additional Information

Additional Information

 N/A 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.
