LumaSense Introduces New Infrared Pyrometers for Precise Temperature Measurement and Analysis of
Industrial Materials Including Metals, Ceramics and Graphite
Rapid 120μs response time enables accurate measurement of dynamic manufacturing processes
IS6 Advanced
March 12, 2013
SANTA CLARA, Calif., March 12, 2013 – LumaSense Technologies introduced
today its new IS 6 Advanced and IGA 6 Advanced digital infrared pyrometers. The two
new additions to LumaSense’s product line of Impac pyrometers are capable of
measuring wide temperature ranges. They also provide focusable optics, high accuracy
and repeatability, best-in-class response time of just 120 microseconds and an operatorfriendly
LED display.
The IS 6 Advanced and IGA 6 Advanced non-contact pyrometers can measure
temperatures between 600°C and 3000°C and 250°C and 2500°C, 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 combination of the wide temperature range, very fast response time, and reliable
accuracy makes our new IS 6 Advanced and IGA 6 Advanced pyrometers highly
adaptable for multiple processes,” said LumaSense CTO Brett Sargent. “As the price of
infrared (IR) technology has come down and IR adoption has increased, these new
pyrometers give our customers powerful new tools to improve product quality and
optimize their processes.”
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 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 groundbreaking Sensorgraphics™ process intelligence
software to accurately detect, reduce and prevent out-of-band temperature fluctuations
that can hamper the efficiency of, and contribute unwarranted waste to, resourceintensive
manufacturing processes. Operators and users can be empowered with a nearly
intuitive 6th Sense to identify potential issues before they impact process efficiency,
reduce quality or impact yields.
