Interchangeable sensor heads minimize downtime by allowing a single system to be re-configured for a variety of measurement criteria
Advanced Energy’s expansion of its Impac® Series 600 of pyrometers sees a number of new modular sensor heads that support a wide range of wavelengths and temperature ranges. The Impac IS 600, IGA 600, IGA 600/23 and IN 600/5 sensors complement AE’s leading non-contact temperature measurement portfolio for steel and glass manufacturing applications.
A modular, flexible and cost-effective pyrometer platform, the Series 600 is designed to simplify the installation and maintenance of industrial manufacturing processes. Its multi-point measurement capability enables improved uniformity and process control required for critical manufacturing steps. The ability to easily and quickly replace or add a new sensor head in the field reduces downtime and lowers total cost of ownership.
By providing highly accurate, multipoint temperature monitoring and control, the Series 600 equips customers with real-time data analysis, improved control and repeatability.
Impac Series 600 pyrometer with four sensor heads (optional)
Single and multi-box architectures are available with up to eight individually customizable pyrometer heads in one system, eliminating the need to set up multiple systems saving cost and effort. Alternatively, customers can choose between three converter boxes as well as a Profinet interface.
The long wavelength IN 600 is best suited for non-contact temperature measurement on non-metallic or coated metallic objects. The IS 600, IGA 600, and IGA 600/23 use short wavelengths for measurements of metals, ceramics, or graphite. The IN 600/5 is specifically designed to measure the temperature of glass surfaces.
The modular concept allows for various combinations of system components: converter box, sensor heads, and multi-sensor box. The standard configuration includes an electronic converter box, a sensor cable, and a removable sensor head to allow for easy exchange. Each converter box can connect up to two sensor heads or up to two optional multi-sensor boxes that connect up to four sensor heads each. To ensure maximum flexibility, the system allows for any combination of the available sensor heads, even with different wavelengths, which is currently a unique feature in the marketplace.
Modular system-architecture allowing up to eight different measurement spots
The converter boxes provide an optional display for temperature measurement and parameters directly in the instrument, eliminating the need to connect to a computer to change the settings.
Different sensor heads cover temperature ranges between -40 to 2500°C and operate in spectral ranges between 0.7 to 14 μm for extended applications. The IS 600, IGA 600, and IGA 600/23 short wavelength digital pyrometers are well-suited for the measurements of metals, ceramics, or graphite while the IN 600/5 is specifically designed for the measurement of glass surfaces.
A wide range of communication protocols, accessories and electrical connection cables (up to 10 m length!) allow for flexible installations of this pyrometer series.
