New texense® IFbN Optical Fiber digital infrared temperature sensor

Texys International, French leader in high performance embedded testing sensors, is proud to release its new Fiber optical infrared sensor for temperature measurement in very harsh environment, texense® IFbN.

Based on the photodiode technology, texense® IFbN offers both fast response time (< 5ms) and capabilities to measure temperature on low emissivity materials.

Many different measuring temperature ranges are available giving new texense® IFbN a wide field of applications: 200°C, 300°C, 500°C, 800°C, 1000°C, 1200°C.

Thanks to the use of an Optical Fiber end (available either in single strand for high infrared signal transmission or in bundle combination of 7 strands for higher flexibility) the sensitive elements and the amplifying electronics are remote from the area of measurement. As a consequence IFbN is less sensible to very harsh conditions and less intrusive than any other infrared temperature sensor: very high operating temperature (up to 800°C), Electro-Magnetic interferences, and very small space of measurement …

The optical fiber end could be adapted to any of your specification using a wide range of mechanical interfaces: threated housing (M3, M4), Inconel tubes (D2.5mm, D 4mm), …

An optional feature could be proposed to change the emissivity set-up using a laptop interface.

Texense® IFbN is the contactless temperature measurement solution for many special purposes: turbocharger shaft temperature, tribology testing bench, ball-bearing temperature, blades of turbine engines and could open the way of new applications: piston temperature, battery temperature for hybrid technology, grinding temperature control …

Texys international has been developing for more than 15 years a range of sensors suitable for embedded Testing for Racing, Automotive and Aeronautics applications.

The new texense® IFbN infrared sensor is a typical example of our capacity of innovation in designing miniaturized sensors dedicated to embedded testing in very harsh environment with very limited access.
