LumaSense Unveils Industrial IR Pyrometers

SANTA CLARA, CA /Marketwire/ -- LumaSense Technologies Inc. introduced its new IS 6 Advanced and IGA 6 Advanced digital infrared (IR) pyrometers. The two new additions to LumaSense's product line of Impac pyrometers are capable of measuring wide temperature ranges. They also provide focusable optics, high accuracy and repeatability, best-in-class response time of just 120 µs and an operator-friendly LED display.

The IS 6 Advanced and IGA 6 Advanced noncontact pyrometers can measure temperatures from 600°C to 3000°C and from 250°C to 2500°C, respectively. This range extends the capabilities of LumaSense's LS6 sensor portfolio for steel-making processes, such as induction heating and cooling, melting, casting, annealing, rolling, forging, and sintering—as well as advanced manufacturing processes for ceramics, graphite, and other carbon materials. The IS 6 Advanced and IGA 6 Advanced are equipped with stainless steel housings for harsh environments and a 4-digit LED display that indicates current temperature or currently set measuring distance.

"The combination of the wide temperature range, very fast response time, and reliable accuracy makes our new IS 6 Advanced and IGA 6 Advanced pyrometers highly adaptable for multiple processes," said LumaSense CTO Brett Sargent. "As the price of IR technology has come down and IR adoption has increased, these new pyrometers give our customers powerful new tools to improve product quality and optimize their processes."

The new pyrometers extend LumaSense's vision to equip global customers in global energy, industrial materials, and advanced technologies with an industrial sixth sense to detect, reduce, and ultimately prevent an estimated $1 trillion lost every year due to process inefficiencies and unwarranted waste.

The IS 6 Advanced and IGA 6 Advanced pyrometers are available immediately and can be controlled using LumaSense's groundbreaking Sensorgraphics process intelligence software to accurately detect, reduce, and prevent out-of-band temperature fluctuations that can hamper the efficiency of, and contribute unwarranted waste to, resource-intensive manufacturing processes. Operators and users can be empowered with a nearly intuitive sixth sense to identify potential issues before they impact process efficiency, reduce quality, or impact yields.
