The pyrometer is effective in induction, tempering, annealing, heating/cooling, and various other processes that occur at lower temperatures.
“The new IMPAC IGA 140/23 pyrometer is more reliable, flexible and durable than comparable instruments that require a choppered detector in order to reach such low temperatures”, said Daniel Schueftan, Pyrometer Product Manager at LumaSense Technologies.
The new pyrometer is a simpler design with a reduction in moving parts to minimize the maintenance requirements. It requires no start-up time and allows for immediate readouts.
With a variety of communication options, such as RS232, RS485, ProfiBus, ProfiNet, Ethernet, the IGA 140/23 is capable of interfacing with virtually every production system available in the marketplace.
When temperatures approach 1800 °C, normal contact-based methods of temperature measurement such as thermocouples will disintegrate. Thus, manufacturers have long relied on infrared technology to capture precise temperature readings without making physical contact.
Such temperature readings are crucial to manufacturing processes affecting product quality, energy consumption, asset life, and personnel safety.
