With very fast processes, in some cases with very short cycle times, requirements for devices used in temperature measurement are especially onerous.

The CT 4M high-speed pyrometer measures within the spectral range of 2.2 μm to 6.0 μm, making it ideal for low-temperature measurements on metals, metal oxides, ceramics or for materials with an unknown or changing emissivity.

The MWIR-B-640 mid-wavelength borescope is designed for furnace applications. It enables highly accurate and fully radiometric temperature measurement image data to be taken, stored and trended over the lifetime of the furnace, providing a continuous and clear view – even through heavy smoke and hot atmospheres.

Designed for use by the steel, metals, industrial furnace and ceramic industries, versatile PSC-55N series pyrometers are ideal for precise temperature measurements from 392-5432°F (200-3000°C) and operate in the shortwave spectral range with fast, adjustable response time of 5 milliseconds to reduce or compensate for changes in target or surface emissivity.

In addition to a cross-shaped sighting laser, the CSvideo 3M pyrometer has an integrated video camera.

In the global industrial heat-treating market, tens of thousands of products are sent through conveyorized ovens or furnaces each and every day. The thermal processing of these products – whether heat treating the core material or even curing a surface coating – is often critical to the quality or performance of the finished product. Whether aluminum brazing a radiator or curing paint on a car body, achieving the correct process times and temperatures is essential.

When it comes to heat treating, understanding the way the furnace works is key to optimizing the process. Fortunately, this understanding can be achieved with thermal profiling.

The NIR-B-2K short-wavelength radiometric infrared borescope imaging camera is designed for continuous industrial furnace process monitoring and control applications requiring highly accurate temperature measurement.

First variations of hot runner systems started appearing in manufacturing in the mid-20th century but did not become standard in the industry until the 1980s, driven by the need for consistent quality and productivity improvements.

Enhanced infrared pyrometer software packages, SPOTViewer and SPOTPro, are designed to give users a better understanding of the performance of their processes and help realize industry 4.0 connectivity.
