Fluke Process Instruments introduces Endurance series

Fluke Process Instruments introduces the Endurance series of high-temperature infrared thermometers. Featuring a stainless steel IP65 housing and galvanically insulated I/Os, these units enable continuous process monitoring of the most demanding industrial applications, including primary and secondary metals manufacturing, carbon processing, and silicon production. Providing a measurement resolution of 0.1 °C, they also meet the requirements of the semiconductor industry. Two models cover wide measured temperature ranges of +550 °C to +1,800 °C and +1,000 °C to +3,200 °C, respectively.

The series is designed for comfortable configuration and operation. The sensors feature an intuitive rear-panel user interface and a built-in web server for data archiving, traceability, and process troubleshooting. The PC-based Endurance setup and monitoring software includes time-saving tools such as the new match function which automatically detects the correct emissivity of the measured surface.

Endurance series pyrometers provide a robust solution for manufacturers seeking to improve product quality and uniformity, reduce reject rates, maximize throughput, and minimize energy costs. Periodic lens cleaning checks are unnecessary, since a dirty lens alarm tells users when it is really time to clean. Accessories include an air-purge collar. The rugged sensors operate reliably at ambient temperatures up to +65 °C or up to +315 °C using cooling accessories. The manufacturer provides a best-in-class four-year warranty. The sensors use either Power over Ethernet (PoE) or DC power (18 to 48 VDC, 500 mA). They are available with Industrial Ethernet, RS-485, or Profinet interfaces as required.
