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.
The new PyroUSB series of configurable infrared temperature sensors is now available! All models have a 2-wire, loop-powered 4-20 mA output for industrial process temperature monitoring, and a removable USB cable for configuration and benchtop temperature measurement.
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.
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.
The PM180 allows a group of infrared temperature sensors to be connected to a Modbus Master as a single device. Here’s how to configure the Modbus Master to communicate with each of the sensors.
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
