Typical areas of application in industry and research
Pyrometers are non-contact temperature measuring devices that determine the temperature of an object by measuring the infrared radiation it emits. They enable precise temperature measurements in areas where conventional thermometers cannot be used.
Monitoring of melting processes, heat treatment and casting processes in the metal industry.
Control of glass melting furnaces, cooling processes and forming temperatures.
Temperature monitoring for extrusion, injection molding and thermoforming.
Precise temperature control in wafer processing and doping processes.
Monitoring of ovens, pasteurization and sterilization processes.
Control of firing processes in tunnel kilns and chamber kilns.
Temperature measurement during painting processes, welding and engine tests.
Monitoring of drying processes and sterilization in pharmaceutical production.
Temperature measurement for material tests and rocket motors.
No influence on the measured object, ideal for moving objects or objects that are difficult to access
Fast response times down to the millisecond range
No wear due to contact, low maintenance
Measurement of temperatures up to over 3000°C possible
