The TW range of infrared temperature sensors from ifm electronic is designed for the precise temperature measurement of particularly hot objects, or objects which are difficult to access, e.g. in the steel, plastics or glass industries. The measured value is provided via the analog output. In addition, a switching output and an IO-Link interface are provided.
Integrated LED pilot light
The pilot light shows users the exact position and size of the measuring segment. The green light is very visible even on glowing surfaces. Besides a low current consumption, the LED is distinguished by a virtually unlimited lifetime.
Batch-related programming
Thanks to the integrated IO-Link communication interface, the parameters can be dynamically adjusted to the application from the control room. Local parameter setting on the unit is not necessary, but can optionally be done via the buttons and the display.
