Fluke® Process Instruments has just launched the SpotScanTM online scanning accessory for its range of point pyrometers. Compatible with EnduranceTM, Marathon and Modline® 5 and 7 contactless temperature sensors, this accessory features an innovative scanning mechanism that allows the user to collect temperature data over a longer surface Extent of the target.
The SpotScan online scanning accessory helps optimize the performance of infrared pyrometers in applications ranging from induction transformation and heating of metals to the production of carbon graphite. It is particularly suited to monitoring hot and cold spots on the web and by conveyor.
With the SpotScan accessory, industrial sites can continue to use the advanced optics of their Fluke Process Instruments infrared temperature sensors to achieve reduced stitch sizes on the measured target, but also to perform a "point scan" on The target to check a larger area, and thus obtain additional information about strategic production processes. The user can see a hot spot on a wider surface and continuously monitor the analog output to identify temperature deviations beyond the set limits.
The SpotScan accessory allows operators to take advantage of the signal conditioning capabilities of the sensors to obtain temperature information in several different ways. For example, using the "peak picker" feature facilitates the identification of hot spots on a wider surface. The averaging and response time functions make it possible to calculate the mean temperature over an extended range. In both cases, the operator benefits from an extended visibility and knowledge of the process conditions.
The SpotScan accessory is available with aiming options of the infrared instrument and regular checking of the aiming accuracy. Embedded commands facilitate the manipulation of the final and central positions of the digitization, as well as its frequency. For a laser sensor, it is enough for the user to turn on the unit to see exactly where the sensor is targeting. For units equipped with TTL sighting, scanning at the ends can be stopped to make the necessary aiming adjustments.
The SpotScan Online Scanner uses the existing DC power from the sensor. Its tough IP65 housing is designed to withstand ambient temperatures up to 60 ° C, and an air bleed option is available for use in dusty or dirty environments.
