Using an infrared pyrometer

Although infrared pyrometers are sometimes referred to as laser thermometers, the laser is not actually involved in measuring the temperature but is simply a target finder that indicates where the infrared gun is pointing.

The IR gun averages the temperature of the image in which it is aimed.If you aim at the edge of the web, you can get a web and its surface temperature after the average.The farther away from the infrared gun, the larger the dot, the infrared gun sweep out of a cone.To minimize this effect, the IR gun should be placed as close to the paper as possible and preferably kept at the same distance while ensuring safety.

Outer guns aimed at as far as possible with the target at right angles, because if the bevel, the dot will be oval-shaped, larger size.Therefore, the machine reading can not be separated.Be aware that any particles or vapors such as dust and smoke can affect the accuracy of the readings.To keep the lens clean, otherwise it will affect the accuracy.In a single-sided machine such as the use of steam around the machine using the infrared gun, the lens will condense water vapor. As with all precision electronic equipment, to prevent the infrared gun fall.

Infrared pyrometers are valuable tools for diagnosing corrugated board machines and ensuring that they are within the required temperature range.

Side note

The thermal imaging camera works in the same way as an infrared gun. They collect temperature through a large number of grid-like arrays of sensors.These collected temperatures form a temperature map.Each temperature is designated as a color, the color representation from the pale yellow to very hot to red represents moderate heat to blue indicates a lower temperature, so the gradient arrangement.

Easy tool

Infrared pyrometers are valuable tools for diagnosing corrugated board machines and ensuring that the machine is controlled at the desired temperature range.Effective use of this simple tool can improve the reliability of the measurement. A more in-depth understanding of how it works helps you use it accurately.
