Real-time mobile emissivity measuring system supports accurate infrared temperature measurement

Optris developed a mobile measuring system for thermal material analysis in order to increase the accuracy of infrared contactless temperature measurement.

The optris CTtrans is a combination of a miniaturized infrared radiator and one optris CT sensor – the compact infrared temperature sensing mini-head. Industrial thermal processes, like thermoforming processes of thin plastic materials, require the information of the emissivity and transmissivity of the measuring objects.

Optris designed a mobile system for the thermal analysis of transmissivity, reflexivity and emissivity of material surfaces in transmitting or reflecting processes for emissivities between 0,5 and 1,000. This system consists of an optris CT sensor and infrared radiation modules.

The results will be directly and online transferred to the infrared sensor in order to correct thetemperature measurement of surfaces with changing emissivities and transmissivities.

Insignificant will be, whether these changes result from changes of the manufactured product or because of changing product types. Significant is the fact, that the previously required and time-consuming adjustment during the manufacturing process will not be necessary.

The analysis kit comes as a complete unit in an exclusive transportation bag. That way it is applicable immediately on site.
