LumaSense Technologies introduced its new IS 6 Advanced and IGA 6 Advanced digital infrared (IR) pyrometers. The two additions to LumaSense’s product line of Impac pyrometers can measure wide temperature ranges. They also provide focusable optics, high accuracy and repeatability, response time of just 120 microseconds (µs) and an operator-friendly light-emitting diode (LED) display.

The IS 6 Advanced and IGA 6 Advanced non-contact pyrometers can measure temperatures from 600°C (1112°F) to 3000°C (5432°F) and 250°C (482°F) to 2500°C (4532°F), respectively. This wide 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 new pyrometers extend LumaSense’s vision to equip global customers in global energy, industrial materials and advanced technologies with an industrial 6th Sense to detect, reduce and ultimately prevent an estimated $1 trillion (USD) 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 Sensorgraphics process intelligence software to accurately detect, reduce and prevent out-of-band temperature fluctuations that can hamper the efficiency of, and contribute waste to, resource-intensive manufacturing processes.
