Industrial scanners deliver real-time thermal imaging

Fluke Process Instruments has introduced the MP Linescanner series, which delivers real-time imaging at scans speeds up to 300 Hz and feature a wide selection of spectral and temperature ranges to accommodate a variety of industrial applications.

The versatile Fluke Process Instruments series features rotating optics and a 90-degree field of view that quickly renders a 2D image on a PC.

Additional key features include:

• a brushless motor (MTBF 40,000 h);
• built-in Ethernet TCP/IP communications;
• PC independent alarm output;
• PC independent 4-20 mA interfaces (3 outputs);
• I/O module support for up to 10 sectors/zones (PC independent);
• internal line laser for alignment;
• IP65 enclosure;
• DataTemp DP Software provides real-time monitoring and remote configurations; and
• built-in water cooling for ambient up to 180 °C.

The imaging systems are suitable for processes like glass processing, extrusion coating, thermoforming machine control, kiln shell monitoring, and gypsum wallboard production.
