High-Speed Pyrometers KTRD-HS

Temperature Measurement in 100 µs for Laser and High-Speed Processes

The high-speed pyrometers of the KTRD 1xxx-HS and KTRD 4xxx-HS series measure temperatures with a response time of just 100 µs, ten times faster than our standard models. They reliably capture short temperature peaks and fast heating processes. This makes them the first choice for laser processes, fast control loops and applications where every millisecond counts. Available as universal or compact models, each also with fiber optic cable. Developed and manufactured in Germany.

Key benefits

• Ultra-fast response time of 100 µs: captures rapid temperature changes without delay
• Ideal for laser processes: designed specifically for laser applications, e.g. laser hardening, welding and brazing
• Measuring ranges from 150 °C to 1600 °C, three spectral ranges (0.85–1.1 µm, 1.45–1.7 µm, 2.1 µm)
• Accurate: measurement uncertainty 0.5 % ± 1 °C, repeatability 0.1 %
• Precise targeting: green LED aiming light showing the exact size and position of the measuring spot, vario optics for focusing
• For fast control: analog output 0/4–20 mA and switching output, universal models with optional PROFIBUS, PROFINET, EtherCAT, Ethernet or USB
• Built for industry: IP65, 24 V DC

The right high-speed pyrometer for your application

• Universal models KTRD 1xxx-HS: maximum flexibility with interchangeable optics, LED, laser or viewfinder targeting and optional fieldbus interfaces.
• Compact models KTRD 4xxx-HS: high-speed measurement in a small 30 × 65 × 80 mm housing with integrated vario optics (100–5000 mm). Ideal for integration into laser heads, machines and systems.
• With fiber optic cable: for confined installations and high ambient temperatures. Fiber and front optics withstand up to 150 °C, while the electronics stay outside the hot zone.
• For low temperatures: the KTRD 1105-HS (8–14 µm, 0–500 °C, 10 ms) measures quickly on plastics, rubber, paper and food.

Typical applications

Laser hardening, laser welding and laser brazing, induction heating, hardening, brazing, welding, rolling and forming of steel, iron, non-ferrous metals and wire, as well as ceramics and vacuum furnaces. Wherever temperatures change in fractions of a second.
