The T-GAGE analog sensor is a passive, non-contacting, temperature-based device. It is
used to detect object(s) temperature within a sensing window and output a proportional
voltage.
While it looks and operates just like an Expert™ photoelectric sensor, the T-GAGE detects
the infrared light energy emitted by objects, instead of its own emitted light. The sensor
uses a thermopile detector, made up of multiple infrared-sensitive elements (thermocouples)
to detect this infrared energy within its field of view (see Figure 2).
Potential applications include:
• Hot part detection (baked goods, metals, bottles, rubber)
• Ejection verification of injection-molded parts
• Flame process verification
• Hot glue detection (packaging equipment, book binding, product assembly)
• Cold part detection (frozen foods, ice, dairy)
• Roller monitoring
NOTE: The T-GAGE M18T sensor is not intended for absolute temperature measurement
Sensing Field of View
The sensing range is determined by the sensor’s field of view (FOV), or viewing angle,
combined with the size of the object(s) being detected (see Figure 2). The sensor’s distance-
to-spot size ratio (D:S ratio) is inversely related to the viewing angle; a sensor with a small
viewing angle will have a large D:S ratio. The T-GAGE M18T sensors have D:S ratios of 6:1,
8:1 or 14:1. For a sensor with an 8:1 D:S ratio, the sensor’s spot size is a 1" diameter circle
at a distance of 8"; farther from the sensor face the spot size will be larger.
