Accurate temperature measurement during asphalt laying is critical for achieving proper compaction and long-term pavement performance. With improper temperature control, issues such as poor bonding, premature cracking, rutting, and reduced durability can occur. The following application note highlights two problems that can be solved using our infrared sensors.

The PyroCV is a construction vehicle focused infrared temperature sensor with either CAN Bus or voltage outputs. This sensor conforms to EMC standards (ISO 13766-1) for construction vehicles and can be used to reliably measure temperature of asphalt, concrete and other non-reflective materials. The robust 316 stainless steel housing is sealed to IP67/IP65 (when mated … Continue reading Introducing the PyroCV

Infrared monitoring of busbars in data centres allows for continuous temperature measurement, supporting early fault detection, proactive maintenance, and improved protection of critical power infrastructure. The following application note highlights two common challenges that can be addressed using infrared sensors.

Temperature measurement on food production lines plays an important role in maintaining consistent product quality. In this video, we look at specialised applications such as measuring on conveyors, through glass, and in high ambient environments using infrared sensors.

Following our previous application note on temperature monitoring in food production, we explore more specialised scenarios, including measuring products on conveyors and through packaging using infrared sensors.

Temperature measurement on food production lines plays an important role in maintaining consistent product quality. In the following video, we look at how non-contact infrared (IR) sensors provide a hygienic and reliable alternative to traditional contact temperature probes, and highlight two IR sensor solutions for this type of application.

Temperature measurement of food items on a production line is crucial for consistent quality management. The following application note covers two common challenges faced by the food industry in temperature monitoring and explains how our non-contact infrared sensors provide an effective solution.

PyroMiniBus sensors are designed to measure the surface temperature of non-reflective materials in industrial applications, from -20°C to 1000°C. Using Modbus RTU communication, multiple PyroMiniBus sensors can be connected on a single network, making it easy to monitor temperature across hundreds of measurement points. Sensors can be connected directly to a Modbus master or expanded … Continue reading Scalable Non-contact Temperature Monitoring

The protective window models PWS, PWL and SIWS are designed to help protect the lens of Calex infrared temperature sensors from mechanical damage, and to help retain fragments of the lens if it is damaged. These windows may be used with sensors that have a measurement wavelength of 8 to 14 µm and an adjustable … Continue reading Protective windows for Calex IR sensors
