Temperature Measurement Solutions
Providing Increased Efficiency
e.g. for Hardening Processes
The ISR 6-TI Advanced infrared
thermometer by LumaSense
combines accurate (2-color)
pyrometry and thermal imaging
in one non-contact temperature
measurement system.
his hybrid pyrometer solution by
LumaSense Technologies is a major
breakthrough combining an infrared
thermometer with thermal imaging
capabilities to open new sensing opportunities
for heat-dependent manufacturers and various
industrial applications.

Particularly in the steel and metal processing
industry, the use of non-contact temperature
measurement has become essential for
monitoring and controlling production processes.
One example is induction hardening and
tempering, where a particular spot of the
workpiece (such as precision parts made of steel
or cast steel) is heated up and subsequently
quenched rapidly. For such contactless heating
methods, usually only a special area on the
surface of the workpiece is selectively heated.
This method of selectively heating and quenching
a workpiece is critical in achieving the desired
hardness of the material. If the temperature
is too low, it will lead to insufficient surface
hardness. However, if the temperature is too
high, it may damage the workpiece so it
becomes unusable.
For measurement tasks with high reproducibility
(as required in hardening processes), LumaSense
offers IMPAC Series 6 Advanced pyrometers,
which are available in different wavelength ranges
and cover temperatures from 50 °C to 3000 °C,
depending on model and application.

IMPAC ISR 6-TI
Advanced It is
a novel solution
to combine
accurate twocolor pyrometer
measurement (from
700 °C to 1800°C)
with thermal
imaging display
capability.
As the latest special in this Series and in order to
detect and monitor the temperature distribution
on the workpiece, the IMPAC ISR 6-TI Advanced
comes into play. It is a novel solution to combine
accurate two-color pyrometer measurement (from
700 °C to 1800°C) with thermal imaging display
capability. This allows a specific indication of the
temperature distribution of a dedicated region on
the objects surface.
The ROI functionality contained in the supplied
InfraWin software enables the definition and
evaluation of specific “regions of interest”. When
combined with an optional I/O module, it is e.g.
possible to trigger external (switching-) contacts
based on the temperature data of one or more
ROI’s.
