Mini IR pyrometer measures non-metallic surfaces
March 2018
Temperature Measurement
Instrotech now offers the compact pyrometer Optris CSmicro 2W LT, equipped with an innovative, miniaturised stainless steel measuring head for limited or narrow spaces. Its high ambient temperature rating, up to 180°C without cooling, makes it the ideal measuring device in hot ambient environments.
The pyrometer has been designed for a temperature range from -40 to 1030°C and is equipped with an LED display for alarm signalling, target assistance, self-diagnosis or temperature-code display. It can be operated using simple two-wire installation, or be plugged via USB.
Areas of application
The CSmicro 2W LT was designed for the measurement of non-metallic surfaces. Since the IR thermometer offers a temperature resistance of up to 180°C without cooling, it is ideally suited, for example, to the surveillance of surface temperatures during lamination processes in vehicle interiors, typically in temperatures of about 120°C.
In the plastics industry, the pyrometer works perfectly for temperature regulation during the thermoforming of foils, where it monitors defined measurement points. In the manufacture of circuit boards, it is ideal for performing function tests once the boards are equipped, registering thermal behaviour quickly, and without influencing delicate measuring objects.
