GESOTEC “TMCx-1D” Temperature Measuring 1D-Cameras

(Series of “Infrared Line Scanners” with 120° FOV & embedded “IP-Camera”)

The Product

TMCx-1D instruments are state-of-the-art thermal profile cameras featuring a precision optical system including a specialbalanced rotating scan mirror design (deflection unit) for a distortion free 120° wide angle field of view (FOV). Thisdistortion free measurement spot positioning with an accuracy of better 0.8mrad provides a high precision geometricalobject scaling independent of the TMCx-1D cameras actual mounting distance/position. All TMCx-1D infrared linescanners offer real-time absolute temperature measurement by non-contact scanning of an infrared thermal line across thesurface of an object of interest. This technique is especially suitable when monitoring the temperature distribution on largemoving or rotating objects. A single TMCx-1D camera can provide instantaneous and continuous temperaturemeasurement of the entire outer shell of up to 150m long rotary kilns.

Various TMCx-1D scanner models are available in different levels of geometrical resolution and thermal sensitivities. Theinstruments effective scanning field of view (FOV) can remotely be switched between the 120° GESOTEC standard andthe FLIR/AGEMA compatible standards 90°/110°. Within the overall scanning speed range of 8Hz to 100Hz five standardsub-ranges are available. The high quality brush-less DC motor and the well-balanced scan mirror guarantee trouble freelong term operation. All scanner versions are of robust construction for continuous operation under tough industrial - oreven hostile - conditions.

The modular design of the TMCx sensors allows Gesotec to customize every unit individually at very reasonable cost tothe user’s technical- and commercial advantage. The new embedded wide-angle surveillance miniature IP-cameramonitors the object of interest through the scanner entrance window. It features an integrated IP web server with GPL LANvideo player for access & control from any Ethernet PC client. A calibrated “marker” in the live video player image indicatesthe actual position of the TMCx scan line on the object surface providing permanent supervision of proper scannermounting and alignment.Furthermore, this color camera allows real-time monitoring of environmental conditions between the scanner and theobject of interest. Practical advantages are the immediate recognition of problems such as obstacles (birds, persons,mechanical structures…), dust, moist, cracks, rain, fog, snow, etc…

Typical Applications

Rotary Kilns: Glass Production: Fire Monitor (Security): Plastics + Paper: Electrolysis: Steel + Aluminum:Cement + Lime Float Glass Tire Stocking Foil Extrusion Aluminum Hot rolling Mills

Waste Windshields Waste Stocking Packing Copper Induction Heating

Application Example: Rotary cement kiln

In the cement industry infrared line-scanners have become a standard temperature measuring tool for checking kiln shellconditions, not only for the emergency hot spot detection and preventative maintenance, but also for optimized energy- and refractory lining management.

Principle of Operation

The “opto-mechanical” deflection unit of TMCx-Sensors is designed to withstand a continuous high-speed operation up to 100Hz. The speed of this “scan-mirror” is digitally controlled. For every scan-line (360° mirror rotation) the effective scan-angle, or field of view (“FOV”), is max 120°. During the permanent scanning process the heat radiation of the object is continuously picked-up and momentarily transferred by the scan-mirror through a lens assembly to the TE-cooled infrared detector.Independent of the actual scan speed the detector signal is digitized by a 12/14bit ADC at a sampling rate that always provides at least 8192 measurement points per complete 360° scan-line. The resulting spot measurement information is stored into a “pixel buffer” together with additional sensor status information. From here it is transmitted in real-time at a rate of up to 20MHz via GESOTEC’s integrated fiber-optic Data-Link “DaLi-Tx” to the data-acquisition-controller “SDAC” located up to 2km away near - or in - the CCR.
