Business Wire
The Timken Company (NYSE: TKR) is introducing a new line of
non-contact infrared thermometers that allow users to safely
measure the temperature of equipment operating in hard-to-reach or
dangerous areas.
These new hand-held, non-contact infrared thermometers are the
latest in Timken�s line of industrial tools designed to help
customers improve shop maintenance and increase uptime.
�Accurate temperature measurement is an essential part of
keeping shop operations running smoothly, but safety should never
be compromised,� said Scott Biltz, manager-global product
portfolio. �These new thermometers avoid contact with hot surfaces
or moving parts for safer, faster and easier temperature
measurement.�
Capable of reading temperatures ranging from -60 C to 871 C, the
thermometers use infrared technology to determine an object�s
surface temperature and provide a clear reading on the
thermometer�s backlit LCD display.
�Timken offers a complete line of reliability products and
services that are developed to enable customers to improve
maintenance practices and avoid costly downtime,� Biltz said. �The
new infrared thermometer is a great first-step toward a more
proactive approach to equipment maintenance or a nice complement to
an existing predictive program.�
Although it is suitable for a variety of industrial
environments, these non-contact infrared thermometers are
recommended for applications that involve moving rollers, machinery
and conveyor belts.
Timken offers three models, each with characteristics suited to
different applications. Timken service engineers are available to
advise users on choosing the appropriate model for their
application.
The infrared thermometers are currently available to customers
in Europe. For more information on Timken�s non-contact infrared
