Compact, digital IR thermometer

Staff -- Control Engineering, 12/1/2006

Digital MI series infrared temperature sensor from Raytek is said to offer increased optical resolution to optimize performance in demanding process control environments and allow direct replacement of contact probes. Compact-sized family of sensors is suited for a wide range of applications in thermoforming and drying processes, paper mills, printing, paint booths, and food and tobacco processing. Devices can achieve up to 22:1 optical resolution and withstand ambient temperatures to 180 °C without cooling, allowing accurate measurement of very small spot sizes in confined spaces and under difficult ambient conditions. Two-piece IR measurement system has a miniature sensing head and separate electronics. www.raytek.com/mi
