New Meltmaster IR thermometer from Ametek

The new Cyclops 0550 Meltmaster IR thermometer from Ametek Land Instruments is a fast, accurate and easy way of measuring the temperature of molten metal without the hazards and on-going costs associated with dip thermocouples. Designed specifically for the foundry industry, the hand-held monitor gives a precise reading without coming into contact with the liquid metal. Because it doesn't disrupt the casting process, it also helps to reduce operating costs and improve casting quality. It requires only one hand to operate. Users just look through the viewfinder at the liquid metal, pull the trigger and the Meltmaster uses advanced, noise-rejection processing to lock onto the real temperature.

Four measurements can be displayed simultaneously - peak, valley, continuous and Meltmaster - and then stored in the monitor or output to a connected data logger or via Bluetooth. The battery-operated Meltmaster is robustly constructed and heat-resistant to withstand the 'rough and tumble' of the foundry. A variety of accessories is available to custom tailor each unit to its specific application.
