Thermal imaging or thermography, detects heat patterns or temperature changes in objects. These changes allow the user to discover problems prior to costly downtime, or monitor developing problems so maintenance can be scheduled during a planned downtime or when budget is available.

 The new Marathon MM Series platform, which covers a temperature range of minus 40 to 3000°C (minus 40 to 5432°F), consists of five IR temperature sensor models, each with a specific measurement wavelength and temperature range appropriate for either low- (minus 40 to 800°C / minus 40 to 1472°F), medium- (250 to 1100°C / 482 to 2012°F), or high-temperature (300 to 3000°C / 572 to 3273°F) production monitoring.
The Marathon MM now features Precision Variable Focus that allows fast, easy and accurate adjustment of the focus of measurement targets, either by push-button at the rear of the instrument or remotely via an RS232/RS485 PC connection, where adjustments can be seen real-time through video. Sensors with variable focus option can be configured according to each application requirements reducing the installation time and chance for incorrect installation.

 IRCON offers more than 43 years of experience in solving the toughest temperature measurement problems encountered by industry. Well over 80,000 IRCON products, chosen from a wide range of infrared thermometers, infrared cameras, thermal imaging software and accessories, have been successfully installed in plants around the world. IRCON instruments are designed for reliability and rugged construction that have been proven in the most hostile operating environments.
