Test & measurement
thermoMETER UC sensor heads are available with optical resolutions of 2:1, 15:1 and 22:1. The use of the optional ‘Close-Focus’ optics adaptor allow small spot sizes down to 0.6 mm to be realised and sensor cable lengths up to 15 m are available.
ROBUST MINIATURE PYROMETER The thermoMETER SE (Separate Electronics) is a miniature infrared pyrometer for measuring surface temperatures from -40°C to +1,100°C and is ideal for integration into machines and systems. The sensor and controller are permanently connected to each other with the miniature controller integrated into the connection cable. Connection is direct and fast via the open cable ends. Optionally, the system can be operated via a USB adapter and configured
using the sensorTOOL software. Compared to its predecessors (the thermoMETER CSmi and CSmi2W) the thermoMETER SE offers better temperature resolution (50mK) and a larger, preset temperature range. In addition, the analogue output is preconfigured for voltage or current (2-wire) and can now also be changed directly by the customer. The protection rating of the controller is also higher because the LED indicator has been omitted and the open-collector output is more powerful, making it easier to control external devices.
FULLY INTEGRATED COMPACT PYROMETER The thermoMETER FI (Fully Integrated) is a fully integrated pyrometer for non-contact temperature measurements from -40°C to +1,100°C. It is
characterised by its extremely compact design, as the sensor and controller are combined in a robust stainless steel housing, which means the space required for the entire system is very small. Its attractive price-performance ratio makes the sensor ideal for series production and OEM applications. Compared to its predecessor (the thermoMETER CS), the thermoMETER FI offers a larger, preset temperature measuring range and a more powerful open-collector output for easier control of external devices. The pyrometer is fully compatible (mechanically, electrically and communications protocol) with the thermoMETER CS. It is protected to IP63 and is suitable for ambient temperatures from -20°C to +80°C. The inline and process-capable pyrometer has a response time of 20ms and has two status LEDs integrated in the cable outlet, which also serve as an alarm signal and alignment aid during commissioning. On delivery, the pyrometer is already preset and only needs to be wired via the open ends. Optionally, the pyrometer can be connected with the sensorTOOL software via a USB cable for more detailed configuration. Chris Jones, managing director, Micro-Epsilon UK comments: “The thermoMETER series product line has been very successful for Micro-Epsilon over the last 20 years. The new generation of thermoMETER products have been completely renewed with significant performance improvements and enable us to offer a greater level of flexibility and customisation for our customers.” If you are an existing thermoMETER customer, or a user of IR pyrometers from other suppliers wishing to evaluate the new generation thermoMETER range, then please get in touch with Micro-Epsilon to discuss free-of-charge loan units.
