Overview:The CellaCrystal PA 44 is an optical two-colour (ratio) pyrometer developed for temperature measurement during crystal growth. Calibration is adapted to crystal production. Hybrid signal evaluation provides a constant high resolution of < 0.1 K over the measuring range and the sensor design ensures very high long-term stability. Alignment is possible via through-the-lens sighting, laser pilot light or integrated video camera.
Special features:- Measuring range 750 to 3,000 °C
- Calibration variants optimized for silicon crystal production (PA 44 AF 4 / AF 5) and for silicon carbide (PA 44 AF 7)
- Hybrid signal evaluation for high metrological resolution
- High long-term stability due to minimal self-heating
- Focusable lens for precise adjustment of measuring distance
- Standard interfaces: analogue output and USB/RS-485 (IO-Link on selected models)
Versions / Selected models:- CellaCrystal PA 44 AF 4
- CellaCrystal PA 44 AF 5
