IR Sensors made by Micro-Epsilon cover a huge span of temperature readings. Starting as low as -55°C in cooling processes or labs and measuring up to 1800°C on molten metals. Models feature small measurement spot size, fast response, and a selection of spectral ranges from 0.9μm to 14μm resulting in a stable and accurate temperature reading regardless of the application challenge.

Micro-Measurements has introduced their CEA-200 strain gage starter kit. The kit contains strain gages and accessory items needed to prepare the surface and bond the gages, along with practice gage patterns and practice beams to gage. This kit is an inexpensive way to obtain all of the necessary items to get familiar with strain gages, material surface preparation, and gage bonding. For a list of the items included or more information, please contact Andruss-Peskin at 800-878-3919 or use the contact form link below.

Dynisco introduces the Opt*Trol extrusion control system. OPT•TROL (optimal control) is a true plug-and-play system specifically designed for small extruders, but includes features found in larger extrusion control systems. Auto tuning temperature control with two low current 24Vdc outputs will allow all zones to be heat only or heat/cool. The operator station includes a rugged LCD touch-screen with CE.NET operating system, Modbus TCP/IP Ethernet communication, and a 1GB flash back up memory stick as standard. The building block architecture of the Control Module allows a compact,lower cost-of-entry control solution for small to large extruders. Standard control system definitions save valuable engineering time and expense. The system is preprogrammed to meet the users requirements. Link to data sheet.

Micro-Epsilon has published a new 70-page catalog covering their comprehensive product line of infrared temperature sensors. IR temperature sensors and IR cameras are used in a variety of applications within any industry from R&D to production and process monitoring.
Pyromation’s thermowell production capabilities have expanded to include a variety of materials and multiple constructions. Pyromation has been producing thermowells as part of temperature sensor assemblies and as individual components for several years. This catalog provides information on Pyromation’s Thermowell product line, as well as technical information needed to determine which well is best for each application. The catalog includes product specs, part number configurations, application information, photos and engineering drawings for each thermowell category manufactured in Pyromation’s Fort Wayne, IN facility. Pressure tables, a corrosive service guide, thermowell options and the services offered by Pyromation, such as Wake Frequency Reports, are described in this piece of literature.
Micro-Epsilon has introduced the new model optoNCDT 1402 laser triangulation displacement sensor. The Model 1402 is a compact CCD displacement sensor with no external controller, current output and RS422 interface.
Dynisco introduces their new series BP420 burst plugs for plastics extrusion applications. These burst plugs are now available with the CE mark and a higher temperature rating of 900°C.
Miniature thermistors are ideal for measuring temperature in confined areas. The Micro Tube thermistor is an epoxy filled polyimide tube. The low thermal mass of the temperature sensor allows for a very fast thermal time response. The tube size of 0.020” maximum OD, allows for use in biomedical and instrumentation applications. The sensor is ideal for medical applications. Link to 
The DirecTemp is high precision thermistor probe combined with a 14 bit analog to digital converter and a simple USB communication interface to capture real-time temperature data. It provides up to 0.1°C accuracy. A selection of temperature probes are offered. The USB interface is “Plug & Play” and automatically recognized and installed by Microsoft Windows. QTI’s DirecTemp data logging software is included. Communication protocol available for OEM applications.
The UPR800 indicator is a field programmable instrument with a choice of 350 ohm strain gage transducer or common process current / voltage inputs. A display of the process variable is shown on a bright red five digit LED display as well as a 35 segment LED bargraph. A second digital display will capture the peak reading, can be blanked, or can be used as the diaplay for a optional second strain gage transducer or process variable. The UPR800 is the perfect solution for those who would like to have melt pressure and temperature read out on one instrument or two simultaneous pressure displays of upstream and downstream pressure across a screen changer or polymer gear pump.
