Exergen manufactures the most reliable non-contact temperature sensors on earth. No active electronics, so these passive devices can not fail. Mean Time Between Failure reports have been documented with a rate of > 1,000 years between failures. The patented technology separates the IRt/c from all other non-contact temperature products. If you are building reliable equipment, reliable sensors that will minimize downtime and increase your production should be on there!

The self-generated IRt/c output matches a conventional t/c within specific temperatures close to the calibration point. The IRt/c also features ambient temperature compensation, true accuracy is held with changes in ambient temperature, at temperatures close to the calibration point.  Exergen carries over 300 models of non contact temperature sensors which include self-powered infrared Thermocouples (IRt/c's), power/linearized SmartIRt/c's, SnakeEye thermal switches, and portable microscanners!

Reduce set-up time and scrap, increase product quality, throughput and profitability, whatever the product or process with IRt/c’s.  For HVAC, food and beverage, packaging, high-temperature; Exergen and Marshall Wolf Automation can help you save time and money!  Call us today at 800-325-9653 (WOLF).  We have a technical department to help with your application questions and we are open from 7:30 am until 6:00 pm central standard time to serve you better.

Taken from Exergen Tech Note # 24:

In processing products, such as paper, wood and textiles, it is important to be able to quickly determine when the products are sufficiently dry.

The surface temperature of the wet product will change (rise) very slowly as constant heat is applied to the product. At the point the product becomes dry the constant heat supply will quickly raise the temperature until it reaches the same as the surrounding air.

If the temperature vs. time is plotted for a heated drying the process, the 'dry' temperature point can clearly be seen as the beginning of a rapid rise in surface temperature.

Exergen IRt/c's are infrared temperature sensors that can be used to monitor these changes in surface temperature. With a fast 0.1 second response time, our Exergen IRt/c's can quickly detect when the surface temperature begins to rise rapidly.

If you have a hot, humid and/or dusty environment we recommend the Exergen IRt/c.3X because of its small size and super-efficient purge air system.

You know Exergen Infrared from getting your temperature taken at the doctor or hospital.  Did you also know that make instruments that can check the temperature of your remote control car engine?  The DX series  is factory calibrated under high quality standards. Because there are no mechanical adjustments, the instrument is able to maintain its calibration through vibration and normal use. No field calibration is necessary. Calibration certificates for ISO requirements are available thorough our calibration service, which provides traceable before and after data with the model and serial # of your unit, and the date of calibration.

R/C Hobbyists: For the best racing performance, your engine must be tuned properly. To tune your engine properly, you need to measure true engine temperature. We are proud to say, the DX501 and D501’s are the only standards in the industry to make that measurement.

The DX-Series is an entirely different type of instrument than conventional temperature measuring devices. Designed specifically for the highest possible accuracy, it is the only infrared instrument which can be certified with NIST - traceable accuracy on real surfaces of unknown emissivity, while remaining completely free of the contact errors and heat sinking errors of contact devices.

Exergen Infrared thermocouples (made in the USA!)  can accurately control the temperature of rotating and moving stainless steel heaters commonly used in the packaging industry without touching the heaters.  The SnakeEye Thermal Switch detects the presence of adhesives. 

Marshall Wolf Automation is the place to go for all of your Exergen needs, as well as other items commonly used by the packaging industry; sensors, AC drives, etc.  Exergen carries over 300 models of non contact temperature sensors which include self-powered infrared Thermocouples (IRt/c's), power/linearized SmartIRt/c's, SnakeEye thermal switches, and portable microscanners!

Whether you are building or refurbishing auger fillers, piston fillers, pallet wrappers, case packers, edge sealers or uniform case sealers; with technical help on staff we can assist with your application questions and find you the parts you need at the prices you appreciate.

I cannot believe I did not include Exergen in our Made in the USA list!

Exergen IRt/c's are manufactured right in Massachusetts and Exergen has been a long time and important supplier to Marshall Wolf Automation.

I was also notified that Leuze Electronics also manufacturers their COMPACT and SOLID series of safety light curtains right in the USA as well!

I am happy to report that our list has been expanded.

Happy 4th of July!

The IRt/c is an excellent solution to the problem of heater control for PC board preheat.  Exergen Infrared IRt/c's work particularly well in this process, since both the heating and measuring occur right at the surface, where the solder must flow.  The IRt/c reading is unaffected by reflections from the heater, since the spectral response of the 6-14 micron IRt/c lens filters out any shorter wavelengths of the radiant heater energy. 

The IRt/c may be mounted in between ceramic heaters, or in the shroud or reflector of the radiant heater, such that it can see in between the elements.  Select the IRt/c model with the field-of-view required to see past the elements to the PC boards.  Care should be taken in mounting the IRt/c in such a way as to keep its temperature below 200°F (93°C) and to keep the lens clean. 

The IRt/c.3x is the preferred model for this application because of its small physical size and built-in air purge.  It can function in temperatures to 250°F (121°C) when the air purge system is used.  For still narrower fields of view, the IRt/c.5 and IRt/c.10 with 5:1 and 10:1 FOV respectively are very popular.

For any medical equipment where a fluid is warmed up, fast and contamination free measurements can be made with IRt/c technology from Exergen Infrared. Utilizing the patented Heat Balance methods, fluid temperature can be measured internally, noninvasively through a disposal tubing. Transfusion systems, IV warming systems, Dialysis systems, Cardio-pulmonary bypass systems, ECMO systems, and Blood analyzers are utilizing IRt/c technology.

Exergen's experience with it's Medical Division provides the experience and background required to assist Medical Device Manufacturers, because they also produce the Temporal Scanner product line.  We are your Industrial Automation Distributor for all of your factory automation needs.

Some of the most common Exergen items for medical use are: IRt/c.2G-J-98.6F/37C, IRt/c.01-J-98.6F/37C-HB, IRt/c.1X-J-98.6F/37C, SmartIRt/c, DX501.
