PYROLINE WBS – Temperature measurement on gypsum wallboards
Infrared line camera system for gypsum application
The providing of an equal temperature and humidity distribution during the drying process of the gypsum wallboards is important for their quality. Inhomogeneity can lead to deformations or the breaking of the plates. Specifically adjusted measurement systems are required to measure the temperature distribution without contact and to identify problem areas. The infrared measurement technology allows the fast acquisition of the surface temperature over the whole gypsum wallboard.
DIAS Infrared offers as a German manufacturer an appropriate infrared measurement system for the non-contact temperature measurement on gypsum wallboards: PYROLINE WBS (Wallboard System)
Hardware and software of the infrared line camera system PYROLINE WBS
PYROLINE infrared line camera for the non-contact temperature measurement and detection of temperature profiles
The DIAS PYROLINE infrared line camera is an uncooled ir camera for the industrial use. It has 128 or 256 sensor elements and provides line frequencies up to 512 Hz.
The industry stainless steel housing (IP65) with air purge unit and optional water cooling guarantees the long-term operation in rough industrial environment.
The data transmission happens via Fast Ethernet in real-time over great distances.
Differences in temperature can be detected and processed for process control.
The DIAS PYROLINE infrared line camera is unique and offers a lot of advantages in contrast to the use of line scanners.
The advantages of a DIAS PYROLINE ir line camera in contrast to a line scanner:
- Simultaneous temperature measurement of all measurement points with up to 512 lines per second
- Use of uncooled linear infrared detectors
- No opto-mechanical scanner
