Turn up the heat
A new infra-red temperature sensor with a measurement range of –40°C to 600°C is available from Raytek.
The MIH sensor can be installed in environments with ambient temperatures up to 180°C without the need for costly water or air cooling accessories. Such cooling accessories not only add installation and maintenance costs, they can leak and contaminate products, or the condensation produced by cooling can obscure the sensor’s field of view and interfere with measurement accuracy.
In addition, the MIH sensor includes a teflon coated cable to withstand exposure to harsh chemical environments.The sensor’s compact size allows seamless inte-gration into existing control equipment or OEM systems.
It includes an optional RS485 interface, which allows up to
32 sensors to be networked in a multi-drop configuration on just two wires, reducing installation costs and facilitating the design
of custom equipment. Optional Raytek DataTemp software enables easy remote monitoring.
The Raytek MIH sensor can be used in a broad range of process monitoring applications, including heat treatment and thermo-forming among others.
