thermoIMAGER TIM // Compact thermal imaging cameras

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document details the thermoIMAGER TIM series, compact USB thermal imaging cameras for precise thermography. These cameras are designed for non-contact temperature measurements, balancing performance and cost-effectiveness across various applications.
Specifications: The cameras measure surface temperatures from -20 °C to 2450 °C using infrared radiation. They are compact, suitable for OEM applications, and offer resolutions up to 764 x 480 pixels. They support fast processes with up to 1 kHz frame rates and include license-free analysis software and a complete SDK.
Models:
  • TIM 160S: Measures from -20 °C to 900 °C, extendable to 1500 °C, with excellent thermal sensitivity and real-time thermography at 120 Hz.
  • TIM QVGA/QVGA-HD: High resolution and sensitivity with a 382 x 288 pixel detector, suitable for real-time imaging at up to 80 Hz.
  • TIM VGA: Smallest VGA thermal imaging camera with 640 x 480 pixels resolution, capable of radiometric video recording at 32 Hz.
  • TIM QVGA-G7/VGA-G7: Designed for the glass industry, featuring a line scan for precise temperature measurement on moving glass surfaces.
Software and Integration: TIMConnect software provides real-time visualization, recording, setup, configuration, and control of the cameras. It supports external communication via COM ports, DLL, and LabVIEW drivers, compatible with Windows 7/10.
Applications: Used in process automation, test stations, R&D, and mobile measurement tasks, ideal for monitoring temperature-critical processes in industries like metal processing and glass manufacturing.
Additional Features: Easy process integration with advanced interfaces, including USB cable extensions up to 100 m and process interfaces for analog or digital input/output. Robust with protection class IP67, operating in ambient temperatures up to 70 °C.
Specifications: Includes environmental conditions such as operating temperature (0 to 50°C), storage temperature (-20 to 75°C), and relative humidity (10 to 95%, non-condensing). Vibration and shock resistance are specified according to IEC standards. Power supply requirements range from 5 to 48 V DC, with PoE options.
Procedures and Features: Supports various frame rates depending on the model, with TIM 160S supporting up to 120 Hz. TIMConnect software offers comprehensive IR camera features, including video recording, snapshot capabilities, and real-time temperature data analysis, compatible with Windows OS.
Norms and Standards: Complies with IEC standards for vibration (IEC 60068-2-6) and shock resistance (IEC 60068-2-27). Specifies insulation requirements and output/input ranges for analog and digital signals.
Recommendations and Best Practices: Suggests using different lenses (standard, telephoto, wide angle, and super wide angle) for optimal adaptation to various applications. Highlights the importance of factory-calibrated lenses for easy exchange without recalibration. TIMConnect software includes an algorithm to correct radial distortion from wide-angle lenses.
Key Data from Tables and Graphs: Tables provide detailed information on field of view (FOV), horizontal (HFOV), vertical (VFOV), and diagonal (DFOV) expansions, as well as the indicated field of view (IFOV) for different lenses and models, aiding in determining the appropriate lens and configuration for specific measurement distances and applications.
