Laser temperature sensors are infrared thermometers in which the laser simply provides a means to aim the thermometer. The infrared temperature sensor with laser sighting enables measurement without interaction with fast response time.
An infrared thermometer’s work is based on black body radiation, according to which any material with a temperature above absolute zero has molecules moving within it. The higher the temperature, the faster the molecules move. The molecules emit infrared radiation as they move, and emit more radiation, including visible light, as they get hotter. Infrared thermometers detect and measure this radiation.
Laser temperature sensors use a series of lenses and mirrors to focus the emitted infrared energy onto a detector. The detector converts the emitted infrared energy into an electrical signal, which the thermometer turns into a digital temperature reading.
The compact non-contact laser temperature sensor can also reliably measure miniature or very small objects due to its excellent optical resolution. It is designed for metal processing applications such as measuring the temperature of hot metals, ceramics and composites materials.
