Measuring the temperature of bread and pastry dough while mixing is important since too high a temperature will cause too much rise, resulting in holes in the baked product, and too low a temperature will not allow the dough to rise sufficiently, resulting in a baked product that is flat.

First, we hope you continue to be safe and healthy. It’s been a trying 2 months, and it’s not over yet. On March 31, Charlie Baker, the governor of the state of Massachusetts, extended the order requiring all “nonessential” businesses in the state to close or operate remotely until May 4, 2020. This is a […]

The AutoSmart Transmitters not only delivers accuracy that is 10 times better than standards on infrared sensors with the same output, it also provides repeatability of ± 0.01% °C.

On March 23rd, Charlie Baker, the governor of the state of Massachusetts placed an order requiring all “nonessential” businesses in the state to close or operate remotely.

For processes such as diagnostic procedures, skin treatments and medical interventions where blood or saline solutions are involved, temperature monitoring and control are essential in the success and reliability of the procedure. Employing IRt/c technology increases the speed and reliability of the procedures while assuring patient safety.

For forming plastics, radiant heat with an IRt/c is an excellent combination of heating method and control. They work extraordinarily well together since both the heating and measuring occur right at the surface, where the plastic is located. The IRt/c reading is unaffected by reflections from the heater since the spectral response of the 6 to 14-micron IRt/c lens filters out the shorter wavelengths of the radiant heater energy.

Exergen Global today introduced its Sensoranics Methodology, a unique, proprietary, integrated approach to developing best-in-class infrared temperature sensor solutions for complex production processes across all industries.

In high volume plastic injection molding machinery, a molded part that does not clear the mold can cause serious problems, including a long downtime to clean up or make repairs. A particularly useful property of the mold is its shininess, which means low emissivity. Accordingly, the infrared radiation from an open mold is primarily reflected […]

When a set temperature is reached, the preform is moved to the blow molding section of the machine, it is molded in the shape by applying pressurized air.

In many IRt/c installations, such as paint curing, web drying, printing, etc., the temperature control system must be able to accurately measure materials with a variety of colors. Ideally the same calibration set-up would be used for all colors, rather than calibrating each time a new color is run. Because the IRt/c measures the radiated […]

Over 90 years young and still going strong in his second career after his retirement in 1985 from Polaroid: The Ultimate Secret

The Challenge Infrared temperature sensors are ideally suited for use in manufacturing, textiles, printing and other production settings. They provide a highly effective solution to ensure machinery does not overheat or otherwise malfunction. Oil, thread, dust, airborne chemicals and other debris emitted during production can quickly obscure the IR temperature sensing heads.  The smallest amount […]

General Information Flags, carpet, tiles and everything else that is printed on Large Format Printers with protective paint needs to be completely dried, cured or fixated before the end-products can be cut, folded, or otherwise worked on. Depending on the paint, most of the inks are water-based and short- or middle wavelength IR lamps can […]

Like the IRt/c Infrared Thermocouple, the pit viper has the ability to “see” infrared radiation. Pit vipers comprise a family of snakes that share a sophisticated thermal adaptation that stems from the evolution of specialized pit organs located near their eyes.
