Ratio pyrometer with 1 and 2-colour measurement

August 2016 Temperature Measurement

LumaSense Technologies has introduced the Impac Igar 6 Advanced infrared thermometer. The IGAR 6 Advanced is a digital, compact pyrometer with 1-colour, 2-colour, and Smart operating modes for noncontact temperature measurement in ranges between 100 to 2000°C.

“This product is unique not only because of the wide temperature range, but because of our seamless ‘switchover’ technology,” stated Daniel Schueftan, LumaSense’s global product manager for pyrometers. The switchover technology, known as Smart Mode, allows the pyrometer to measure temperature in 1-colour mode at low temperatures (100 to 250°C) and then transition to 2-colour mode to provide the advantages of measurements in ratio mode at higher temperatures (280 to 2000°C). The automatic, smooth transition from 1 to 2-colour measurement occurs between 250 and 280°C. In addition, the pyrometer can operate in 1-colour mode (100 to 2000°C) and 2-colour mode (250 to 2000°C).

“The large temperature range, compact size, and new Smart Mode make the IGAR 6 Advanced ideally suited for many different industrial manufacturing applications,” said LumaSense CEO Stephen Abely. Sample applications include induction heating, hardening, tempering/annealing, brazing, sintering, vacuum processes, coating and laser heat treatment.

The IGAR 6 Advanced joins the Series 6 family of digital, compact infrared thermometers and leverages highly accurate infrared technology to determine the temperature of a surface. Like other Series 6 pyrometers, it shares the available sighting options such as through-lens-sighting, laser targeting and TV module, and can be connected to a PC through an RS-485 to USB connection.
