Target focus adjusts easily
March 1st 2006

A motorised, remotely-controlled variable target focus capability has been added by Raytek to its Marathon MM series of high performance, non-contact infrared temperature sensors.

This feature provides production engineers and OEMs the flexibility of needing only one sensor type for multiple sensor applications. This reduces the requirement for replacement sensors stock, resulting in cost savings.

Users can easily adjust the focus of measurement targets, either by push-button on the rear of the instrument, or remotely via the RS232/RS485 connection from a pc where adjustments can be seen real-time on video. The sensor is sealed to IP65 standards, and all motorised focussing components are contained within the housing.

Users can select from either standard fixed focus sensors or sensors with new variable focus option. Both have a focus range of 200mm to 2.2m from the target.
