Press Release Body: LumaSense Technologies, a leading provider of infrared
thermography and non-contact temperature solutions with its Mikron Infrared
products, on September 16, 2008 announced the release of its new Mikron MCL-160
thermal imaging camera.

The MCL-160 is a cost-effective and fast response thermal imaging camera that can be
used for process control applications requiring a comprehensive non-contact
temperature measurement solution. The MCL-160 is able to detect thermal
abnormalities in process applications instead of using multiple temperature sensors.
It is the perfect solution for environments where quick, accurate temperature
measurement is required of fast moving targets, such as high volume manufacturing
processes. The MCL-160 is fully integrated with MikroSpec(tm)RT software providing
customers a complete configuration of their imaging system. Our complete solution
approach allows customers to have peace of mind knowing that we will provide the
correct combination of lenses, software, enclosures and communication schemes to
meet the most challenging imaging requirements. The MCL-160 is an excellent addition
to LumaSense Technologies' well-established Mikron Infrared Process Imaging
portfolio of products that include the M9200 designed for the Metals markets and the
highly configurable M7500.

"The MCL-160 will allow for a new era of precision temperature measurement and
process control. With the flexibility the camera offers, users will no longer have
to rely on just a single-point temperature or questionable measurements to control
their critical processes," comments Brett Sargent, Vice President of Sales. "The
applications for this radiometric camera are endless; ranging from coal conveyor
belt monitoring to the food industry and plastics. The MCL-160 will truly bridge the
gap between single-point pyrometer measurements and expensive thermal imaging by
offering a cost-effective solution with high accuracy, no maintenance and a complete
picture of the process for monitoring and control. The MCL-160 is the equivalent of
19,200 pyrometers and is integrated into one cost effective package."


Process control in many applications typically means measuring a single point
temperature and applying control that is based on only one data point. That data
point may or may not be the critical parameter needed. Naturally, this means that
something can be missed. Another option would be to install several (and sometimes
even hundreds) of pyrometers on the process to understand what is going on. Why not
take advantage of a comprehensive solution with the Mikron MCL-160 that will allow
for complete radiometric measurement of the process in one low cost and maintenance
free application?
