A new generation of portable IR thermometers from Raytek Corporation makes critical temperature measurements more reliable by defining the target area with a sixteen point laser sighting circle. Precise aiming, combined with enhanced electronic data storage and emissivity reference tables, improve the speed and accuracy of temperature measurements in a broad spectrum of process and maintenance applications throughout industry and institutions.

The introduction of the Thermalert GP series by Raytek Corporation now enables infrared temperature measurement to compete with thermocouples and other probe devices. The cost factor is especially significant in a wide range of multiple-sensor web applications. Examples are paper, textile and plastic production, where noncontact methods allow measurement of the actual process material rather than the heating medium.

For cost reasons, infrared (IR) temperature measurement has until now been mainly confined to industrial applications. The launch of Raytek's MiniTemp pocket-sized thermometer puts affordable, convenient, noncontact temperature measurement into the hands of home users, maintenance professionals and industrial technicians. Priced comparably to hand power tools, it measures temperature in less than a second by sensing IR energy, and has literally hundreds of uses.

New infrared thermometers from U.S. company, Raytek Corporation, combine smart digital electronics and fiber optics for efficient operation in harsh environments. Reported by the company to offer the best price/performance standards currently available, the FA models in the Marathon Series have an overall range of 250 to 3000 C. Features include operating software with Windows programs for remote sensor configuration.
