Ratio pyrometer for high temperatures with CSvision for robust real-time process monitoring
A range from 300 ° C to 3000 ° C : With the new CSvision series of ratio pyrome-ters from Berlin-based infrared specialist Optris , it is possible to measure the temperature of metals , melts or ceramics non-contact , safely and reliably from different distances .
Infrared pyrometers must meet high demands : Especially in metallurgy , they are often used under harsh conditions in which they must deliver reliable results at any time . Smoke , steam , or dust often impede a clear view of the measured object and affect the measurement signal . In these conditions , ratio pyrometers nevertheless provide stable measured values - compared to single-channel pyrometers , even with dirty optics or with objects that move within the measuring field ( e . g . metal rods or wires ).
The new CSvision is equipped with the innovative Smart Ratio Mode ( SRM ) and can thus master even challenging applications with variable emissivity ratios . The built-in video sight and the motorized focus , which can be operated via software or app , allow the CSvision novelties to be focused very conveniently on the respective object . The switchable two-stage brightness reduction filter ensures optimum viewing conditions even with very hot and therefore bright objects . Together with the crosshair laser , which is also standard , this ensures simple sensor alignment un-der all conditions .
Two infrared pyrometers for precision-fit applications
The CSvision R1M offers an optical resolution of up to 150:1 and a measuring range of 600 to 3000 ° C with a spectral range of 0.8 to 1.1 µ m - in harsh industrial environments up to 65 ° C without cooling . The R2M has an optical resolution of 75:1 and a spectral range of 1.45 to 1.75 µ m . This allows temperatures to be meas-ured from as low as 300 ° C to 1400 ° C ( up to 60 ° C without cooling ).
Easy sensor setup and monitoring via app
Optris creates an easy-to-use solution with the CSvision series that can be set up quickly and easily . The infrared thermometers have an interface to the IRmobile Android app and
CompactPlus Connect software . This allows easy video align-ment and real-time process monitoring . Two analog outputs are available for pro-cess integration , as well as digital interfaces such as RS485 or Modbus RTU .
A variably programmable I / O pin can optionally be used as alarm output , for signal triggering or e . g . for external emissivity / slope settings .
