Miniature Vario-Therm Infrared Temperature Sensors Offered By Everest Interscience

The VARIO-THERM sensors are new miniaturized infrared temperature sensor that include a patented automatic field-variable-focus feature and a through-the-lens visible light sighting system that verifies where a temperture measurement is being taken. The pulsating light used for the visual location of the target is a safe Light Emitting Diode instead of a potentially dangerous laser. Also, the VARIO-THERMs can neasure minute targets as they can be focused down to target spot sizes of one-half millimeter.

(Vocus/PRWEB ) June 5, 2008 -- The VARIO-THERM sensors are new miniaturized infrared temperature sensor that include a patented automatic field-variable-focus feature and a through-the-lens visible light sighting system that verifies where a temperture measurement is being taken. The pulsating light used for the visual location of the target is a safe Light Emitting Diode instead of a potentially dangerous laser. Also, the VARIO-THERMs can neasure minute targets as they can be focused down to target spot sizes of one-half millimeter.

Everest Interscience offers their VARIO-THERM miniature infrared temperature sensors -- their Series 6000.2 --that are only 7/8 inch in diameter and 2-1/2 inches long. Even though they are miniature in size, these unique sensors include a patented automatic field-variable-focus feature (U.S. Patent No. 7,355,178) and a through-the-lens visible light sighting system to verify where the temperature measurement is being taken (U.S. Patent No. 4,477,814).

The automatic focus feature is Everest’s Vario-Zooom. To change the focus, the operator slowly pushes the front optics in or pulls it out, respectively, to reduce or increase the size of the field of view. After the desired focus has been established and verified by the Intra-Optical Light Sighting System, the focus can be locked in place.

The Intra-Optical Light Sighting System has a Through-The-Lens/Single Lens Reflex (TTL/SLR) feature wherein a pulsating light-emitting diode light is passed directly through the infrared optics, illuminating the target’s location, shape, size and surface texture. This takes the guesswork out of knowing where the infrared temperature sensor is "looking".

The VARIO-THERM precision infrared temperature-measurement sensors can go many places that conventional infrared sensors cannot. Applications for the Series 6000.2 Infrared Temperature Sensors would include those where the size of the instrument and the available distance from the target is of importance to the operator.

Another major advantage of the VARIO-THERM Sensors is that they can measure very minute targets. They can be focused down to target spot sizes of one-half millimeter. This makes them extremely useful for taking the temperature of very small objects.

These instruments come in a low-temperature configuration for use in natural environmental science research and in a high-temperature configuration for use in industry. The full specifications for the Series 6000 Infrared Temperature Sensors can be seen on Everest’s website at http://www.everestinterscience.com.

Everest Interscience has a complete line of both hand-held and fixed-mounted infrared thermometers and temperature sensors in their product line. Also, Everest manufactures and markets a portable calibration source (Model 1000) that can be used to verify the accuracy of any infrared thermometer.
