New 120x84 Pixel Infrared Thermopile Array
Heimann Presents Worlds Largest Thermopile Array
Heimann Sensor
is the world technology leader in infrared thermopile arrays for person detection and thermal imaging. Thermopile arrays can be used without any shutter or external cooling, which means they are low power, low maintenance and low cost products.
Heimann Sensor
offers the full range of thermopile arrays starting from small to medium to large sized arrays. Our smallest 8x8 arrays fit inside a TO-46 housing and can be used for example for non-contact body temperature measurements from distances of 30cm to 1m. Our medium sized arrays with 16x16 and 32x32 thermoelectric elements fit well inside a TO-39 housing and are best for low resolution thermal imaging applications like person detection and counting for intelligent HVAC, burglar alarms or hot spot detection in household applications like stove top monitoring.
Our largest sensor so far was the 80x64 array inside a TO-8 housing, available with all kinds of different optics with an ultra-wide field of view of 120x90 degree and a narrow field of view of 12x9 degree for far distances. This sensor has a 6 pin SPI interface for fast data transmission which allows framerates of 30 Hz and more.
Our latest development is an even higher resolution thermopile array with 120x84 elements. The beauty of this new array is the reduced pixel pitch, which is now 60 µm instead of 90 µm. This results in similar focal plane dimensions for both the 80x64 and 120x84 array. Thanks to same TO-8 housing and 6 pin SPI interface this facilitates a drop-in solution to replace the 80x64 with the 120x84 array. If you are already using the 80x64 array, you can just replace it with the 120x84 array to have better resolution while everything else remains unchanged.

We are pleased to introduce already two other HowTo videos. These step-by-step clips regarding our USB Application Set and the WiFi Application Shield help our customers to easily get started. Have a look at the videos below.
Our Heimann Sensor team is pleased to share a great success story: One of our innovative sensors has been included into a new thermal imaging camera that is now available at LIDL throughout Germany and internationally. In this way, this kind of product has become affordable to the masses. After a couple days, the cameras were already sold out in the supermarkets. Nevertheless, the camera is still available on the LIDL online shop at https://www.lidl.de/p/parkside-4-v-waermebildkamera-pwbka-4-a1-1024-messpunkte/p100377390 . The heart of this camera is the Heimann Sensor HTPA32x32d array sensor, which enables spatially resolved temperature measurements for professional use as well as everyday use. For example, it is possible to detect heat loss in buildings or to analyze electrical systems. This success is a further proof of the high quality and competitiveness of Heimann Sensor products.
We are pleased to introduce our new webinar series. Starting with a step-by-step guide of our UDP (Ethernet) application set, you will learn how easy it is to get a thermal video recording with our HTPA arrays. Watch out for future webinar clips!
Heimann Sensor is looking forward to participating in the 25th China International Optoelectronic Exhibition, which takes place 11-13 September 2024 in Shenzhen Bao'an International and Exhibition Center. Meet us at booth no. 8E06 - in cooperation with our sales partner Shenzhen Longxiang Technology Co, Ltd.
Like the year before, again this year some of our colleagues and even their offspring attended the 5km run in Dresden in June. Some came as fans and the eight you can see on the picture crossed the finish line together. Congratulations! It's a wonderful team event and we're already looking forward to next year's repetition.
The Sensor+Test 2024 fair was once again a meeting place for the European sensor community. We had many interesting discussions with suppliers and old and potentially new customers, particpated in a lot of meetings - all in a short time and in one place. Thanks to a wonderful team from Heimann Sensor (from left to right: Dr. Wilhelm Leneke, Mischa Schulze, Dr. Jörg Schieferdecker, Dr. Victor Bechthold, Dr. Marion Simon, Michael Schnorr, Christoph Kohlmann, Alexander Rehmer, guest) our participation at the Sensor+Test 2024 was a success.

Heimann Sensor's non-contact sensors for remote temperature measurements are used for the monitoring of tires of racing motorcycles and racing cars. We thank our customer and partner Nigtecnologias, located in Argentina, for this great cooperation. ( https://www.instagram.com/nigtecnologiasoficial/ ) The information about the actual temperature is important to control grip and degradation of the race tires. Our integrated sensor features a fast response with high accuracy. If you are interested in further information, have a look at our Thermopile Modules (HIM Series) .
