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 PyroCAN is a simple non-contact infrared temperature sensor with CAN Bus communications. Connect this low-cost pyrometer directly to your CAN network for instantaneous temperature readings from inaccessible or moving surfaces.

Thick plastics are non-reflective to infrared radiation, so they are usually easy to measure with infrared temperature sensors. Thin plastic films can transmit IR, and a specialised sensor is sometimes required for accurate results. Calex has suitable pyrometers for measuring plastics in many industrial applications. Thermoforming Temperature measurement in thermoforming is easy and straightforward with non-contact … Continue reading Infrared Temperature Measurement in the Plastics Industry →

How do you measure the temperature of an object without touching it? What kind of sensor should you use? How accurate is the measurement? Learn all this and more with this brief introduction to infrared thermometry.

If you need a pyrometer with a very small measurement spot size, a very fast response time, or continuous built-in aiming, the PyroCube is ideal. Here are some applications where each of these features can be used.
