The thermoIMAGER TIM M-1 thermal imaging camera is designed for non-contact temperature measurement of hot metals in the 450 ºC to 1800 ºC 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 ºC to 1800 ºC 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.

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.
