Raytek, a leading worldwide provider of infrared thermometry, has introduced the Raytek XR infrared (IR) thermometer. Designed to optimize continuous temperature monitoring in a broad range of manufacturing processes, this advanced sensor is a rugged, IP65 sealed single-piece system with the flexibility to handle almost any application.

The Raytek XR infrared thermometer measures temperatures in a range from -40 to 1650C. It combines a host of best-in-class features, including multiple extended temperature ranges, precision temperature resolution, RS-485 outputs and a versatile electronics platform. Together, these features create a single IR sensor that outperforms other thermometers in challenging temperature measurement environments.

According to Frank Schneider, Raytek Worldwide Product Manager, the Raytek XR infrared thermometer improves the consistency of manufacturing operations, which can result in less product variation, improved product quality and increased throughput. He said, “The Raytek XR infrared thermometer delivers both performance and value for users with demanding temperature measurement requirements. This thermometer reduces energy costs by allowing tighter process control and more efficient process heating.”

Industries and processes for the use of the Raytek XR infrared thermometer are:

– Glass Surface Temperature Measurement: bending, forming, tempering, annealing, sealing and laminating.

– Plastics Processing: extrusion, thermoforming, moulding, welding and sealing.

– Printing, Paper, Textiles: converting, sealing, bending, drying and curing.

– Construction Materials

– Hot Metal Detection
