MWIR

LAND MWIR
Smart mid-wavelength thermal imagers providing a full temperature measurement range of 100 to 1800 °C (572 to 3271 °F) in three ranges with a choice of different optics and lenses.
  • Overview +


    With increasing demand for improved product quality and efficiency, energy saving, predictive maintenance and emission reduction, thermal imaging cameras and systems play an important role in modern and industrial processing. 

    The new MWIR thermal imager builds on more than 20 years of thermal imaging experience, expanding the market-leading range of LAND thermal imaging family and temperature measurement solutions.

    Advanced spectral filtering enables the MWIR-640 to provide clear images through smoke or particulates in high temperature processes, while showing every detail of surface structure in heat treatment applications above 300 °C (572 °F).
    The MWIR35-640 uses a broadband 3-5 µm wavelength to provide accurate measurements of temperature down to 100 °C (212 °F).

    Three temperature measurement ranges cover applications from melting to final processing.  Three lens options offer a choice of optical field of view, all with motorised focus.

    An integrated webserver with multiple I/O options enables the camera to be used autonomously or easily integrated into new or existing process control systems. The webserver provides easy camera access, configuration and remote control, using a standard browser.

    The MWIR measures and streams live true-temperature images at up to 60 frames per second, providing high-precision temperature measurements and thermal profiles to continuously control, document, and visualise industrial processes.
