OVERVIEW
Take the guesswork out of thin film plastics temperature measurement
The PyroCube P measures the temperature of thin film plastics from 120°C to 350°C.
Thin-film plastics are often highly transmissive to infrared radiation, which makes them very difficult to measure with most sensors.
The PyroCube P uses a special measurement wavelength of 3.4 µm to accurately measure the temperature of many types of plastic film that cannot be measured with general-purpose sensors
An extremely fast 10 ms response time, small measurement area and continuous LED sighting make the PyroCube suitable for even the most challenging applications.
Features
- Measures thin films of polyolefin, polyamide, polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, nylon, PVC, acrylic, polyurethane and polycarbonate
- Temperature range 120°C to 350°C
- Measures an area as small as 12 mm
- 10 millisecond response time
- Continuous LED sighting shows the position and size of the measured spot while readings are being taken
- Multilingual touch screen interface (optional)

OPTIONAL DISPLAY (PM030)
Touch Screen Interface
Optional wall-mounted display, data logging, configuration and alarm unit for FibreCube sensor
- Read the temperature
The large, bright backlit temperature display is visible from a distance and turns red in an alarm condition. - Record the temperature history
See a graph of the measured temperature, and log more than a year of data to a single MicroSD Card. The data is stored in a simple text format that can be imported easily into Excel. - Configure the sensor
All the sensor’s configuration settings can be adjusted via the intuitive touch screen interface. - Trigger temperature alarms
Two alarms are individually configurable as high, low, band or error. The screen turns bright red to signal an alarm condition, and the built-in 24 V, 1 A relay outputs can be connected directly to alarm sounders and beacons. - Accurate measurements, even with reflections of hot objects
Place the sensor outside an oven or furnace and accurately measure the temperature of objects inside by using the Reflected Energy Compensation feature.
