XIAN, China, April 3, 2026–Meecoe Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. (“Infraroadtech”), an innovator in the thermal imaging industry, has launched its latest ultra-high temperature infrared thermal camera, MCT490. With an ultra-wide temperature measurement range of 0~2000°C, non-contact high resolution imaging, and strong environmental adaptability, MCT490 targets the monitoring challenges of extreme-temperature scenarios in metallurgy, die-casting, and coal chemical industries.

Technological Breakthrough: Solving the Ultra-High Temperature Imaging Challenge

MCT490 ultra-high temperature thermal camera adopts a new-generation 12μm uncooled infrared FPA detector with 640×512 high resolution. Paired with Infraroadtech’s self-developed infrared image algorithms, it delivers fine-grained real-time thermal images even in environments with strong thermal radiation interference. The core innovation lies in its stable and accurate measurement of temperatures up to 2000°C, along with synchronous 25Hz output of temperature and image data, addressing the data gap issues commonly seen above 1500°C in conventional systems.

Modular Cooling Design for Harsh Industrial Environments

Dual-channel active cooling: Optional air-cooled or water-cooled shell ensures stable operation in ambient temperatures up to 220°C; lightweight structure: Compact body (50×50×90mm) enables easy integration into constrained equipment spaces; multiple lens options: Three optional lenses with different FOV support both long-distance wide-area monitoring and close-range micro-area temperature measurement.

Scenario-Based Applications: Driving Industrial Intelligence

In metallurgy, the MCT490 thermal camera captures real-time temperature distribution of molten steel, aiding in alloy composition optimization. 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 noted: “Fluctuations in droplet forming temperature gradients once caused a 23% deviation in light transmittance. With MCT490‘s real-time temperature curve analysis, our response speed to process adjustments improved fourfold.”
The open network protocol further enhances the value of the device. Users can connect via standard interfaces or perform secondary development based on the SDK to build a customized temperature monitoring hub. This flexibility gives the device a significant advantage in intelligent factory deployments. When used with TI Studio temperature analysis software, the solution delivers 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.

Empowering the Brand: Infraroadtech’s Technological Depth

As a leading brand in intelligent photoelectric sensing, Infraroadtech has established a comprehensive technology portfolio in infrared temperature measurement. The launch of MCT490 fills a gap in the ultra-high temperature segment and complements its existing mid- and low-temperature product lines.
According to third-party research, the global industrial temperature measurement market will exceed USD 8.5 billion by 2026, with the ultra-high temperature segment showing rapid annual growth. MCT490 delivers a high-precision solution for use cases such as molten material monitoring and special materials sintering. Industry analysts comment: “Under the carbon peaking and carbon neutrality strategy, such devices will play an increasingly important role in energy efficiency optimization, particularly in high-consumption industries like metallurgy and glass.”
