A handheld infrared thermometer is a useful diagnostic tool. Here are some tips on how to achieve accurate measurements, and how the handheld thermometer can be used to find out if a planned installation of fixed-mount sensors could be successful.

How do you know if your infrared temperature sensor is aimed correctly? Here are some easy ways to improve the alignment of your pyrometer.

Advancements in the Calex product range make it easier than ever to measure the temperature of busbar joints in switchgear cabinets.

Measuring the temperature of plastic preforms in blow moulding applications is easy with Calex infrared temperature sensors. An accurate measurement can be obtained as fast as 1 millisecond, even from the smallest preform, without touching the preform.

Calex has achieved success in measuring the surface temperature of extruded aluminium profiles using low-cost non-contact pyrometers. Measurements were taken by a leading manufacturer of extruded profiles at the press exit and after the quench, and good results were obtained with short-wavelength single-wavelength pyrometers, even with significant steam near the quench box.

The new multi-channel temperature measurement software, CalexSoft 2, is now available as a beta release.

Most infrared temperature sensors have an adjustable emissivity setting. Here’s how to use this powerful feature to achieve accurate measurements from a variety of surfaces.

Non-contact temperature measurement is now possible in areas of high ambient temperature with no need for sensor cooling using air or water. This brings several benefits, including cost reduction, better safety, and improved product quality in manufacturing processes.

Technical advice from Calex Electronics on choosing a suitable infrared temperature sensor to measure small targets.  

The new PyroNFC-K from Calex Electronics is a fully-configurable infrared temperature sensor that can be installed in place of a thermocouple probe quickly and easily.
