Non-contact pyrometers for reflective
metals
Calex Electronics has announced the PRO series of high performance IR sensors from Williamson for extremely reflective metal targets at both high and low temperatures.
As the exclusive UK representative for the Williamson range of specialist infrared temperature sensors, Calex Electronics has announced the PRO series of high performance sensors for extremely reflective metal targets at both high and low temperatures These sensors can address the most demanding applications, and are particularly suited for measuring metal alloys

Infrared temperature sensors introduced
Three fixed-mount infrared temperature sensors offer users the ability to reach out and take control of pyrometers by replacing the old service interface with a simple rotary emissivity adjustment.
Fibre-optic pyrometers resist harsh areas
A series of fibre-optic infrared temperature sensors are for installations where traditional sensors cannot operate, such as near induction heaters, in vacuums or in high ambient temperatures.
With these models, it is possible to measure the temperature of materials which were at one time thought all but impossible, such as aluminium and polished stainless steel at temperatures from 50C to 2475C.
The PRO series 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.
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 models 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 1000C, in markets such as food production, textile and fabric manufacture, the plastics industry, paper manufacture and the glass industry.
