Temperature Measurement


Pyrometer with focusable optics

February 2007 Temperature Measurement

The instruments IS 140 and IGA 140 of the Impac series 140 are digital, highly precise pyrometers for non-contact temperature measurements on metals, ceramics and graphite between 250°C and 3300°C. For an optimised adaptation of the instruments to the particular application, three different focusable-optics with very small spot sizes (from 0,35 mm) are available. The perfect alignment of the measuring object is guaranteed either by an optimisation through the lens viewfinder or a laser targeting light. The response times (<1 ms (500 μs optional)) are very small, so that the pyrometer is excellently suited for very fast applications. The instruments combine all the advantages of analog and digital technology. Therefore the digital interfaces RS232 and RS485 (switchable inside the instrument), as well as the analog test current output. Moreover, IMPAC now also offers the pyrometers IS 140 and IGA with integrated PROFIBUS DP interface. All pyrometers can be set either directly in the instrument with the built-in keyboard, or via the PC using the InfraWin software, which is included in the delivery. Thereby all settings are indicated on the built-in LC-display and/or on the PC. In the normal operation mode the display shows the current measuring temperature.

Mecosa is the sole agent for Impac in South Africa.
