MEASUREMENT & MONITORING LINE OPTICS FOR INCREASED MEASURING SPOT SIZE LumaSense Technologies is now Advanced Energy IMPAC pyrometers Series 6 Advanced represent the “flagship-class” of small- sized infrared thermometers by Advanced Energy. Different models are available with integrated LED display, laser targeting light, view finder, or integrated color-TV camera. All prepared for exact temperature measurements, covering a wide range of industrial applications. Besides the standard optical heads these pyrometers are optionally also available with integrated line optics. These special optics feature a significantly wider measurement spot in shape of a line and provide additional advantages, especially for wire production or pouring stream applications. The line shaped spot guarantees that vibrating or oscillating wires or a moving pouring stream do not move out of the pyrometer’s target spot. Thereby the wires respectively the pouring stream need to be aligned diagonally to the line shaped spot. For wire production the orientation of the line spot is vertical for MB 14 with a temperature range from 600…1400°C For measuring steel pouring streams the orientation of the line spot is horizontal for MB 25 from 800 °C…2500°C. In combination with the fast response time of 2 ms the respective temperatures can be measured reliably, even at highspeed processes. LumaSense Technologies, Inc., one of the world’s most trusted providers of innovative temperature and gas sensing devices was acquired by Advanced Energy, a global leader in highly engineered, precision power conversion, measurement and control solutions, in September 2018. Legacy LumaSense products are now part of the Advanced Energy family, adding a line of photonic- based measurement and monitoring solutions that are synergistic with Advanced Energy’s leading precision power and control technologies in both semiconductor and industrial markets.
