New pyrometer for high-temperature applications and metals
The new FibreMini is a fibre-optic pyrometer from Calex Electronics with advanced features that allow accurate temperature readings on metal surfaces in harsh applications.
Measuring the surface temperature of metals is challenging. Reflective surfaces, high ambient temperatures and harsh environments make it difficult to achieve accurate measurements with infrared temperature sensors. The following features, provided as standard on all FibreMini models, make non-contact temperature measurement possible in these difficult conditions:
- Fibre optic sensing head withstands up to 200degC ambient temperature, making it suitable for mounting near furnaces
- Containing no electronics, the FibreMini sensing head is immune to electromagnetic interference in high-EMC applications such as induction heating
- Achieve accurate readings when measuring reflective objects in hot environments such as furnaces, with reflected energy compensation. On Modbus models, adjust this setting automatically on-the-fly using RS485 Modbus communications
- Laser sighting light illuminates the measurement area, showing both the size and location of the measured spot
- Large, full-colour temperature display with data logging makes the FibreMini a plug-and-play product - just connect power and start measuring. A choice of 4-20mA or RS485 Modbus outputs is available.Fully configurable via touch screen
A choice of optics for measuring small or large areas at short or long distances is available, as is a choice of temperature ranges from 250degC to 2000degC.
It is easy to feed the sensing head through conduit and trunking, thanks to the slim, flexible fibre optic cable. This is available in lengths of 3, 5 or 10m. An optional air purge collar is available to help keep the lens clean.
The FibreMini fibre-optic pyrometer is available from Calex and their distributors worldwide. To find out more, visit www.calex.co.uk/fibremini.
