A range from 300°C to 3000°C: the new CSvision series of ratio pyrometers from Berlin-based infrared specialist Optris enables non-contact, safe and reliable temperature measurement of metals, melts or ceramics at various distances.
Infrared pyrometers have to meet exacting requirements. Particularly in metallurgy, they are often used in harsh conditions, where they must deliver reliable results at all times. Smoke, steam or dust often prevent a clear view of the object being measured, and affect the measurement signal. Under these conditions, ratio pyrometers nevertheless deliver stable measurement values - compared with single-channel pyrometers, even with dirty optics or objects moving in the measurement field (e.g. rods or wires).
The new CSvision features the innovative Smart Ratio Mode (SRM), enabling it to master even difficult applications with varying emissivity ratios. The integrated video viewfinder and motorized focus, which can be controlled via software or an application, enable the new CSvision to focus conveniently on the object in question. The two-stage switchable brightness reduction filter ensures optimum viewing conditions, even with very hot and therefore very bright objects. Combined with the reticle laser, which is also standard, it guarantees simple sensor alignment under all conditions.
Two infrared pyrometers for precision applications
The CSvision R1M offers optical resolution of up to 150:1 and a measurement range of 600 to 3000°C with a spectral range of 0.8 to 1.1 µm - 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 µm. This means it can measure temperatures from 300°C to 1400°C (up to 60°C without cooling).
Easy sensor configuration and monitoring via app
Optris creates an easy-to-use solution with the CSvision series that can be configured quickly and easily. The infrared thermometers interface with the IRmobile Android app and CompactPlus Connect software. This enables easy video alignment and real-time process monitoring. Two analog outputs are available for process integration, as well as digital interfaces such as RS485 or Modbus RTU.
An optionally programmable I/O pin can be used as an alarm output, for signal triggering or, for example, for external emissivity/slope adjustments.
