Pyrometers

Proxitron hight temperature pyrometers are available in a number of variants and can be adapted to suit the requirements of different applications in high temperature areas. 

Pyrometers from Proxitron are used for the monitoring of processes and quality control wherever ambient conditions place special demands on non-contact temperature measurement. High-performance Proxitron pyrometers are provided with innovative software which allows easy remote control, simple parameterization and rapid integration of the measuring device into existing processes.

Different optical systems and a wide range of accessories  provide measurement over large distances and make every Proxitron pyrometer a specialist in long-lasting and maintenance-free devices.

Temperature plays a key role in many innovative production processes and determines the quality and consequently the success of a product. Monitoring, controlling and recording temperature during the different production steps is a central element in quality management and ultimately contributes to a large extent to efficient energy consumption and environmental protection.

Infrared temperature measurement is used in many industries. Thanks to their extremely robust design, special pyrometers from Proxitron have always been used in the metal and heavy industry. They can monitor casting processes, forging processes and almost every process involved in steel manufacturing, up to the ultimate rolling and forming stages of wire, tubes and sheets.


Pyrometer FAQ – Answers on Industrial Temperature Measurement from Proxitron

What is a pyrometer – and why is it so important for your production?

A pyrometer measures temperatures without contact and at high speed. This means greater process reliability, higher product quality, and reduced downtime – even in environments where other measuring systems cannot operate reliably.

Why choose a pyrometer from Proxitron?

With over 45 years of experience, robust industrial design, and precision under extreme conditions, Proxitron pyrometers stand for proven performance. They offer:

  • Maximum measurement reliability in hot, dusty, or dynamic processes

  • Made in Germany quality

  • A wide range of models for any application

  • Long service life thanks to durable construction

  • Easy integration into existing systems

Which industries use Proxitron pyrometers?

Anywhere temperature control is critical:

  • Metal and steel industry

  • Foundries and rolling mills

  • Glass production

  • Heat treatment and hardening processes

  • Mechanical and plant engineering

  • Automation technology

In short: wherever temperature makes the difference.

What temperature ranges Proxitron pyrometers can measure?

From low process temperatures starting at approx. -40 °C up to extremely high temperatures in melting and rolling applications. Proxitron offers tailor-made solutions based on your required temperature range and material.

 

How do you benefit from the accuracy of Proxitron pyrometers?

Precise temperature readings mean:
✔ Reduced scrap
