Temperature sensors in melting devices

Example: NTC resistance

Temperature sensors play a crucial role in melting equipment, as they enable accurate temperature monitoring and control. Our systems use four different types of temperature sensors, each offering specific features and benefits:

1. PT100
   The PT100 is a platinum resistance thermometer that is known for its high measurement accuracy and stability. It is often used in applications that require precise temperature measurements and high long-term stability.
2. Ni120
   This nickel resistance thermometer is similar to the PT100, but offers a lower cost structure and faster response time. It is often used in applications where high accuracy is required at a moderate cost level.
3. NTC
   Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) sensors are characterised by their decreasing resistance as the temperature increases. They are particularly sensitive and react quickly to temperature fluctuations. They are ideal for applications that require a fast response time.
4. FeCuNi
   FeCuNi thermocouples (iron-copper-nickel) offer high sensitivity and are suitable for applications where temperature fluctuations must be precisely measured. They are particularly robust and suitable for demanding operating environments.

Note on PTC temperature sensors

(Positive Temperature Coefficient PTC) temperature sensors are often used in mechanical glue guns. These react with increasing resistance as the temperature rises and offer a simple and effective way to keep the temperature of the heating elements constant. Thanks to their self-regulating function, they are ideal for compact and cost-effective applications.

All temperature sensors ensure reliable temperature monitoring and make a decisive contribution to the efficiency and quality of the melting processes.
