Infrared temperature sensorOKA

Infrared-sensors detect the infrared
radiation emitted by hot materials and
transform it into an electrical signal.
Built-in optics to narrow the field of
view, combined with a predetermined
switching temperature, provide for a
wide range of applications. These
include precise location and
positioning of hot objects in, for
example, steel and rolling mills, forges
and foundries, and glass and ceramic
installations. Hot parts can be tracked
over distances of several metres,
flames monitored, or mould part
removal of hot objects checked.
The line includes compact versions
with integrated processing electronics
as well as models for ambient
temperature of up to +290 °C, with
fibre optic cable between the optics
and the electronics. All components
are housed in rugged stainless steel
and fully potted for protection against
moisture, steam, shock and vibration.
Optical filters protect against spurious
radiation.
