Re-release of MP150 Infrared Linescanner

A Raytek product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Oct 1, 2008

Raytek released the MP150 High Speed Infrared Linescanner in January, providing fast, non-contact temperature measurement.

The MP150 featured the latest electronics, optics, communications and mirror mechanisms.

This technology facilitated a scan speed up to 150Hz, three times faster than its predecessor, allowing the MP150 to gather complete data from even the fastest manufacturing processes.

The product is now being re-released with expanded data collection capability.

The MP150 can now measure up to 1024 data points per scan, up from the previous 512, to allow the user to see even smaller temperature anomalies.

Also new is a fibre-optic communication system that permits connection to existing fibre networks or directly to a PC.

Fibre-optic infrastructure avoids potential interference from strong EMI fields generated by heavy equipment and protects the instrumentation from sudden power surges generated by lightning strikes.

Another feature of the MP150 is the on-board Ethernet TCPI/IP communication capability.

During installation, the user connects directly to the linescanner, which can be accessed from any computer on the network.

To speed-up alignment, each unit has an internal line laser which indicates the exact line-of-sight of the linescanner.

This laser projects a visible laser line on the target even while the linescanner is collecting data at full speed.

The product's software suite has been enhanced to take advantage of the increased data acquisition capabilities and extended communication properties of the MP150.

The system packages allow the user to quickly configure the system to analyse thermal data to monitor and control their manufacturing processes.
