Infrared sensors allow simple and accurate temperature measurement when the measurement object is moving, e.g. on sliding rollers or robotic arms, or is inaccessible to traditional contact probes.
Reliable construction technologies and high precision achieved mean that they can be used in a wide variety of industries and for the most diverse materials, in processes ranging from foodprocessing to textiles, pharmaceuticals, metallurgy, paper production, plastics and rubber processing through to asphalt preservation and laying, or non-contact temperature measurement on surfaces with electrical currents such as power distribution systems.
Before choosing the model, the type of surface (particularly if reflective), the size of the target and its distance from the sensor must be evaluated.
