Proxitron infrared temperature switchs have always been extremely robust, wear resistant and maintenance-free and specially constructed for the application in rough conditions. This situation has not been altered regarding the new Infrared Temperature Switch (HMD) mini. The robust und small stainless steel housing make him to an all-rounder for many applications.
The Infrared Temperature Switch (HMD) mini convinces with its smart software, two parameterizable outputs and a lot more functions. One of the function is for example the comfortable Teach-In function. This function recognises the temperature of an object and adjusts the optimal switching point automatically.

The software

The Infrared Temperature Switch (HMD) Mini is also in no way inferior to the “big ones” when it comes to user-friendliness and parameterisation. Equipped with a convenient and intuitive software interface, it fulfils the requirements of Industry 4.0.
The Infrared Temperature Switch (HMD) Mini has two switching outputs - each output is programmable in the standard function with different response temperatures. With the equiped alarm function the self monitoring has been realised. If the function of the sensor is at risk due to an extremely dirty optic, the sensor puts itself automatically in the alarm mode.
Of course a variety of parameters are shown and visualised during operation. The system uses a MODBUS for the communication and therefore it can be quickly integrated in existing BUS systems.
