Infrared thermometer optimises continuous temperature monitoring October 2007
 
Raytek, a provider of infrared thermometry, has introduced the Raytek XR infrared (IR) thermometer.

Designed to optimize continuous temperature monitoring in a broad range of manufacturing processes, this advanced sensor is a rugged, IP65 sealed single-piece system with the flexibility to handle almost any application.

The thermometer measures temperatures in a range from –40 to 1650°C. It combines a host of best-in-class features, including multiple extended temperature ranges, precision temperature resolution, RS-485 outputs and a versatile electronics platform. Together, these features create a single IR sensor that outperforms other thermometers in challenging temperature measurement environments.

The thermometer provides a flexible, user-defined analog output that can be matched with almost any existing control system. This feature also eliminates the need for expensive A/D conversion or non-standard A/D input cards. An intuitive local user interface simplifies system setup and configuration, and adds powerful troubleshooting capabilities.

Industries and processes for the use of the Raytek XR infrared thermometer are:
- Glass Surface Temperature Measurement: bending, forming, tempering, annealing, sealing and laminating.
- Plastics Processing: extrusion, thermoforming, moulding, welding and sealing.
- Printing, Paper, Textiles: converting, sealing, bending, drying and curing.
- Construction Materials
- Hot Metal Detection
