KPE 660/5 - the fastest infrared thermometer for the glass industry

Since the beginning the fastest infrared thermometer for the glass industry - the brand new KPE 660/5 has been launched by KLEIBER Infrared GmbH (MIKRON-IMPAC Group).

The fully digital high speed infrared thermometer KPE 660/5 is applicable for measuring ranges from 30°C up to 2500°C. It measures the temperature on glass surfaces with a re-sponse time of less than 500 µs and an accuracy of ±0.4% of the measuring range. Additionally other materials like ceramic or metals can be measured at low tempera-tures too.

This ir thermometer enables the user to measure very fast temperature processes throughout the glass industry. Because of its high accuracy and short response time the pyrometer is suitable for material development and testing in research areas.

The KPE 660/5 comes with many benefits for the user. The RS 485 interface makes the device bus compatible and up to 32 ir thermometers can be installed along a produc-tion line at distances up to 1200 m. By using the optionally available software and USB interface KUI 485 (accessory) the devices can be parameterised and read out on a PC. Additionally it can be done manually using the integrated display with key-board at the rear of the pyrometer.
Two adjustable switching outputs are another main feature of KPE 660/5, which for instance can control the maximum and minimum temperature of the measuring proc-ess. The device can be equipped with variable or macro optics, both realising very small measuring fields.
