CEIA’s new line of SL optical pyrometers are characterized by their extreme compactness and solidity, wide range of temperatures, quick measurement time, immunity to interference in induction heating applications and reduced dimensions of the reading spot. The new SL sensors are compatible with all v.3 controllers, and can be used in applications such as hardening, soldering, melting, tempering, brazing, expansion fitting and all other processes in which accurate control of the temperature is required.

Every pyrometer is equipped with an internal digital memory to store all the calibration parameters, and fitted with a special sensor to measure and compensate for the ambient temperature.

The range comprises 3 basic models: the SH15/SL, with a temperature reading range of 80°C to 800°C; the SH40/SL, from 200°C to 1400°C; and the SH60/SL, from 600°C to 2000°C. Each model can be equipped with an adjustable focal length for temperature reading.

CEIA SpA, market leader in induction heating systems, continues its tradition of innovation with new products that satisfy the most demanding requirements of their customers.

The Procurement Agency of the German Ministry of the Interior - Beschaffungsamt des BMI - awards CEIA the contract for the supply of 84 “Type A + B” Liquid Analyzers for use in German airports.

The EMA analyzer is a device designed to inspect bottles and their contents in order to reveal the presence of any combustible, inflammable and/or explosive liquids. The detection procedure is extremely simple, thanks to the automatic recognition of the bottle in the inspection cavity. In just a few seconds, the analyzer provides a positive response (OK) or an alarm message without the need for any interpretation on the part of the operator. The device analyzes the entire volume of the bottle.

If the result of the analysis matches the characteristics of harmless liquids (e.g. water, wine, spirits or soft drinks), the device gives an “OK” message and a green light signal.

If the result does not conform to ‘harmless’ characteristics, the EMA analyzer gives a visual and acoustic alarm signal.

The electromagnetic field generated within the inspection cavity is of weak intensity and non-ionizing, and is safe both for the liquids and for the operator. Calibration is automatic.
