PyroMiniBus miniature infrared (IR) temperature sensor CALEX

Description

The CALEX PyroMiniBus miniature infrared (IR) temperature sensor is suitable for measuring temperatures in the measuring range -20 °C to 1000 °C, with ambient temperatures up to 120 °C. The sensors have RS485 Modbus communication, allowing them to connect directly to Modbus hardware.

They are IP65 rated, made of 316 stainless steel and fully tested to industry EMC standards. They can be used to measure the temperature of food, paper, plastics, asphalt, paint, loose and organic materials, as well as the dirtiest, rusty or greasy surfaces. The sensors measure just 45 mm, so they can fit into even the smallest space.

Examples of use

Drying ovens

The epoxy-impregnated glass fibres are cured in the oven to increase their strength. PyroMiniBus sensors are installed in the oven at temperatures up to 120 °C to create a temperature profile at multiple points across the entire surface to be treated and report the measured temperature to the heating system, which controls the oven’s hot air blowers. The industry includes boat building and aerospace.

Industrial bakery

Check the temperature profile of the bakery products at several points along the conveyor oven.

Corrugated board production

Monitor temperature along the entire carton, with local displays for each part of the production line and centralised control in the control room. The sensors can withstand 120 °C and can be used in high-temperature areas such as single panels without the need for cooling.

Automobilism

A large PyroMiniBus sensor system can monitor the paint curing process at multiple points. Monitor temperatures around the whole vehicle in the test chambers.

Monitoring the situation

The sensor network can monitor all bearing temperatures on the machine, on the spill table or in the whole factory. PyroMiniBus is ideal for measuring the temperature of all painted metal surfaces.

Infrared curing

A set of sensors mounted on the infrared lamp plate ensures a uniform temperature profile along the hardened part. Surface coatings, paints and epoxies, among others, are ideal target materials.

Filling a gas cylinder

Control temperatures to improve the repeatability of the filled volume and improve filling efficiency. It is easy to monitor the temperature of each cylinder on the filling machine without having to manually move the contact probes.
