The new DATAPAQ EasyTrack3 temperature profiling system from Fluke Process Instruments addresses the needs of any paint or powder coating operation.
A comprehensive range of thermal barriers protects the data logger with its non-volatile memory in infrared and convection ovens.
The light-weight aluminum standard barrier shields the electronics for up to 2 hours at 200°C. Thermal protection is ensured by high-performance microporous insulation and a heat sink. The DATAPAQ EasyTrack3 Professional System extends protection to 3 hours, allowing users to monitor up to three cure processes consecutively. A thermal barrier for high-temperature PTFE and Dacromet coating withstands 400°C for up to 90 min.
Lastly, the manufacturer has also designed a low-height barrier for profiling typical mesh belt cure lines where oven clearance is significantly restricted. At merely 31 mm high, the barrier provides protection for a full 13 min at 200°C or for 30 min at 100°C. The logger operating temperature is 85°C. It automatically switches off, should it ever heat above that point – for instance due to unscheduled line stops. This prevents faulty data collection.
The profiler provides a measurement accuracy of ±1.6°C (logger and thermocouple accuracy combined) over its entire operating temperature range. The robust, tried-and-tested system ensures successful measurements day after day.
