Hangzhou based thermal imaging specialist Raythink Technology has launched an ultra-high temperature infrared thermal camera that breaks through the 2,000°C industrial monitoring barrier. The TN460U targets extreme-temperature monitoring in metallurgy, die-casting, and coal chemical industries.

The TN460U camera adopts a new-generation 12μm uncooled infrared FPA detector with 640×512 high resolution. Paired with Raythink’s self-developed infrared image algorithms, it provides fine-grained real-time thermal images even in environments with strong thermal radiation interference.

The core innovation lies in stable and accurate measurement of temperatures up to 2000°C, along with synchronous 25Hz output of temperature and image data. This addresses the data gap issues commonly seen above 1,500°C in conventional systems.

In metallurgy, the TN460U thermal camera captures real-time temperature distribution of molten steel, aiding in alloy composition optimisation. In automotive die-casting, its millisecond-level thermal monitoring capability enables early warning of mold overheating.

In coal chemical gasifiers, it enables early coking warnings through continuous temperature trend analysis. A technical manager from a glass manufacturer: said: “Fluctuations in droplet forming temperature gradients once caused a 23% deviation in light transmittance. With TN460U’s real-time temperature curve analysis, our response speed to process adjustments improved fourfold.”

Users can connect via standard interfaces or perform secondary development based on the SDK to build a customised temperature monitoring hub. This is designed to provide advantage in intelligent factory deployments. When used with TI Studio temperature analysis software, the solution is reported as delivering clear imaging, precise temperature readings, a complete analysis toolkit, and flexible alarm mechanisms. It is widely used in industrial temperature measurement, experimental analysis and other scenarios.
