Miniaturized Infrared Thermometer For Plastic Films

In the production of plastic sheeting, temperature is an essential physical parameter in order to ensure quality. The use of non-contact temperature measurement technology has the challenge that foils with a thickness of less than 1 mm are transparent for standard IR thermometers and therefore cannot be measured. “In order to measure the temperature of thin foils from e.g. To enable PE or PP, for example, we developed the infrared thermometer optris CT P3, which measures in a narrow spectral range of 3.43 µm,”explained Dr.-Ing. Thomas Heinke, Head of Development at Optris GmbH.

Robust, heat-resistant and good process integration

The robust Optris CT P3 with protection class IP 65 is suitable for retrofitting and OEM. The electronics (420 g) are separate from the sensor head (200 g) and have easily accessible programming buttons and an illuminated LCD display. The analogue outputs of the pyrometer, which can be used uncooled at ambient temperatures up to 75 ° C, can be selected between 0 mA or 4 mA to 20 mA, 0 V to 5 V, 0 V to 10 V, thermocouple type K or J., RS485, RS232 interface, relay outputs, CAN bus, Profibus DP or Ethernet available.
