An extremely compact, fast-response infrared scanning system designed to detect emerging hot spots on conveyor belt materials The HotSpotIR 9000 is an extremely compact, fast-response infrared linescanning system specifically designed to detect emerging hot spots on moving objects and conveyors. Detecting these developing hot spots and sending an alarm to the process operators prevents costly shutdowns and potential fire risks. However, visual inspection and single-point pyrometers have neither the speed nor the resolution to meet the application demands. The HotSpotIR 9000 high-speed scanning system can detect these emerging hot spots, making 100 high-resolution temperature scan lines every second (100 Hz) and detecting the hottest point in each scan. Three HotSpotIR 9000 Sensor options are available, offering a total measurement range of 20 to 600 °C / 68 to 1112 °F. Protection and cooling enclosures allow for installation in harsh, dirty, and damp environments, plus hazardous areas. The Landmark Graphic (LMG) MkII 9000 processor provides high-speed alarms that alert the control room operator, allowing them to take the correct preventative action. ACCURATE HOTSPOT DETECTION With a wide scan angle of 80°, the HotSpotIR 9000 monitors and protects an entire conveyor. Its rapid scan speed of up to 100 Hz provides a fast response and allows temperature tracking of even small hot spots with a field of view of 100:1 and a repeatability of ±0.5 °C / ±0.9 °F.
