IFM TW2011 is an infrared temperature sensor with fibre-optic measurement technology designed for high-temperature applications. It provides a 300 to 1600 °C measuring range and operates in the 1.0 to 1.7 µm wavelength range. The fibre-optic arrangement allows the measuring head to be positioned for applications where conventional sensor installation is difficult. Its fast response supports demanding thermal processes. TW2011 is suitable for furnaces, heat treatment, metal processing and automated temperature monitoring.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
TW2011 is designed for non-contact high-temperature measurement using a fibre optic and measuring head. It covers temperatures from 300 to 1600 °C. The 1.0 to 1.7 µm wavelength range is suited to high-temperature measurement applications. Its separated measuring arrangement provides flexibility where direct installation of sensor electronics is difficult. The product is suitable for automated industrial thermal monitoring.
TW2011 uses an infrared measuring principle with fibre-optic transmission to a measuring head. This design allows the sensing point to be positioned separately from the main electronics. Non-contact measurement avoids physical interaction with hot or moving targets. The sensor provides analogue and switching functionality for automation. The arrangement is particularly useful in high-temperature or restricted installation environments.
The sensor provides a 300 to 1600 °C measuring range with a 1.0 to 1.7 µm wavelength band. Response time is below 2 ms. Measurement uncertainty is specified as 0.5% of measured value with a minimum of 4 K under stated reference conditions. Its high-speed response supports monitoring of rapidly changing thermal processes.
The fibre-optic design provides greater flexibility in difficult installation areas. Non-contact measurement allows safe monitoring of high-temperature objects. Fast response supports real-time process monitoring. Analogue and switching functions allow integration into automated control systems. TW2011 is useful where sensor electronics must be separated from the measurement point.
