SIZE MATTERS!! Small non-contact
infrared sensor
IRt/c units are small, accurate, non-contact infrared sensors, which require no outside power and connect directly to temperature measurement and control instrumentation
IRt/c units are small, accurate, non-contact infrared sensors, which require no outside power and connect directly to temperature measurement and control instrumentation Now QHi-Infrared, one of the leading UK specialists in infrared technology, offer the Micro IRt/c, the world's smallest non-contact infrared sensor, measuring just 2.54cm in length and 0.63cm diameter

QHi-Infrared, one of the UK's leading specialists in infrared technology, can help you bring the accuracy and control of non-contact infrared thermocouples into the tightest of spaces
Continuous predictive maintenance of critical risk
Temperature is one of the best indicators of a fault or malfunction in virtually all electrical or mechanical equipment: now monitor your plant from within protective enclosures, for temperature shift
Continuous thermal monitoring eliminates downtime
Now high-downtime-cost organisations can continuously thermally monitor their mission critical electrical power and mechanical assets such as bearings, pumps, gearboxes, compressors and motors
Low cost, accurate, versatile and easy to install/use, the exceptionally small size allows new, non-contact infrared technology to be fitted to some equipment and processes for the first time where space is a major factor.
Sensors are available in a wide variety of temperature ranges and the small optional aluminium air purge kit makes it possible to use the micro IRt/c even in harsh environments, so expanding still further the number of machines and processes which can benefit from this revolutionary technology.
A wide variety of mounting brackets will ensure easy fixing whatever the machine or process involved.
Traditional temperature measurement using contact thermocouples can cause product wastage, contamination and, inaccuracy due to thermal lag.
The IRt/c avoids these problems by monitoring continuously the temperature of the core product without contact, thereby improving production line performance and reducing waste.
Process applications are vast, typical uses being cooling, drying, heating, gluing, curing, hot melt, packaging, laminating, mixing, injection moulding, etc This new addition to infrared temperature monitoring technology is a real breakthrough for OEMs and the process industry.
