Non-contact sensors measure up to 2475
deg C
Non-contact infrared temperature sensors, housed in rugged cast iron enclosures that withstand the harshest conditions, work for aluminium and other difficult-to-measure materials.
Calex Electronics has been nominated as the exclusive UK representative for Williamson Corporation, manufacturers of specialist infrared temperature sensors Williamson has been designing and building cutting-edge infrared temperature sensors for 50 years

IR temperature sensor mounts just where you want
One of the most striking things about the new Convir IL Series infrared temperature sensor is its small size; at just 105mm long and 25mm diameter it can easily be mounted just where you need it
Handheld infrared thermometers have laser sighting
A range of low cost, handheld infrared thermometers with laser sighting and a large backlit LCD display have various temperature ranges to suit different applications.
These sensors can address the most demanding applications, and are particularly suited for use in the metal alloys industry.
With these state-of-the-art models, UK customers will at last be able to measure the temperature of materials which were at one time thought all but impossible, such as aluminium and other alloys, in liquid and solid forms at temperatures from 50 deg C to 2475 deg C.
The PRO series by Williamson offers single, dual and multi-wavelength sensors, all of which are housed in rugged cast iron enclosures allowing them to withstand the harshest conditions.
Advanced signal processing allows units to take readings through thick smoke, dust, steam and even plasma, and accurately measure moving targets down to just a few millimetres in size.
These sensors can be used at all stages of metal processing, from casting to rolling, extruding and annealing.
Laser and through lens sighting is available on all PRO series models to ensure precise alignment on the smallest of targets, and bi-directional serial communications provides remote system monitoring and configuration.
Fibre-optic models allow the sealed fibre-optic sensor to view the target while the electronics is mounted in a more convenient position.
Heavy armouring is available on the fibre-optic cable to ensure it is safe even in the most hazardous environments.
These new high temperature sensors from Williamson ideally compliment the existing Calex range of infrared temperature sensors, which are designed for use in low to mid-temperature applications from -40 to 1000 deg C, in markets such as food production, textile and fabric manufacture, the plastics industry, paper manufacture and the glass industry.
