Contact vs. Non-contact Temperature Sensors
Why To Choose Contact Sensors
Contact Sensors
Accurate within 0.1°C
Rim and eye sensors; Indicates saw blade stiffness. Difference in temperature at the eye and rim of a saw blade causes twisting and dishing, resulting in saw plate damage and cut deviation.
Modular bolt on attachment; Easy mounting and dismounting from different saw guides, enabling change over for target size or damaged guides.
No modification cost; Minimal saw guide modification and adjustments is needed due to bolt on design
Non-contact Sensors
Not accurate; Our research has proven that existence of any substances between the sensor and the measuring surface such as saw dust, oil or water can interfere and compromise accuracy
Single sensor; Does not indicate temperature differences between eye and rim
Integrated in saw guide; Requires re-machining into new saw guide in case of guide damage
High modification cost; Guides and babbitt molds require modification/redesign to accommodate sensors
