Instrumentation
With energy costs one of the top expenses for the process industries, accurate measurement is essential. The latest IR thermometry releases use the most up to date technology to ensure that measurement accuracy is the best ever.
Die Energiekosten gehören zu den wichtigsten Kosten in den weiterverarbeitenden Industrien, deshalb sind genaue Messungen von zentraler Bedeutung. Die neuesten Infrarot-Thermometer verwenden die modernste Technologie, um eine optimale Genauigkeit der Messungen sicherzustellen.
Les coûts de l’énergie étant l’une des principales dépenses des industries de process, des mesures précises sont essentielles. Les tous derniers produits en thermométrie IR utilisent la technologie la plus récente pour s’assurer que la précision de mesure est la meilleure qui soit.
IR thermometry: fast and cost-effective temperature measurement
R
aytek, a leading worldwide provider of infrared (IR) thermometry, has introduced the MI3 Series of IR temperature measurement sensors. According to the company, the M13
series represents a new generation of performance and innovation in non-contact temperature monitoring for original equipment manufacturer (OEM) applications and manufacturing processes. The Raytek MI3 sensors are designed to deliver
industry-leading performance and flexibility at the lowest installed cost per measurement point. Combining a rugged IP65 (NEMA 4) stainless steel sensing head with a separate communication module, the MI3 is designed to meet virtually any noncontact temperature measurement requirement (Fig. 1).
According to Bill Kolbeck, Raytek product
manager - point sensor products, IR thermometers, such as the MI3, are the fastest, safest and most cost effective way to measure critical temperatures necessary for process control and automation: “Energy costs are typically one of the top three operating expenses in any manufacturing facility, and process heating is the largest portion of this expense. The Raytek MI3 reduces energy costs by
allowing tighter process control and more efficient process heating. Improved control performance usually results in less product variation, higher product quality and increased throughput.” Kolbeck indicated the new MI3 sensor provides
all the functionality of the proven Raytek MI Series with significant new features. These include a broad choice of sensing head temperature ranges and spectral responses, a standard USB 2.0 digital interface for easy sensor set-up and configuration, a fully programmable electronics platform, and response times as fast as 20 mSec. The thermometer’s innovative multiple sensing head interface supports up to eight individually addressable heads per communication box.
Seamless integration The Raytek MI3 Series sensors offer a choice of scalable 0/4 to 20 mA and 0 to 5/10 VDC analogue outputs, or Type J, K, R or S thermocouple outputs, as well as an optional RS485 network interface – thus, enabling seamless integration into existing control equipment or OEM systems.
Standard USB 2.0 communication facilitates sensor configuration and is valuable for
