Power controller

Our electronic power controller are available in different sizes and power classes. To optimize the process of heating you might reduce or regulate the output energy. Optron power controller are best in its class and highly flexible with optional functions like:

  • pyrometer for an automatic regulated process
  • operating an external signal from your plc
  • timer function

Our wide-range portfolio is specialized on different wavelength technologies. That is why we distinguish two different product lines.

Phase angle control (PLS)

The PLS-series with phase angel controll requires a high effort to eliminate electrical interference, but it has the benefit of not showing any flimmer even with fast-reaction short wave IR-emitters, which is important especially in fast production processes.

- perfect for controlling shortwave emitters and modules
- Step- and lossless controls
- integrated fan supply for Optron infrared modules
- VDE and CE certified
- noise suppressed class A for industrial sectors

Fast pulse group control (SILS)

The SILS-series with fast pulse group control is best for power controlling mediumwave and also shortwave IR-modules. This principle allows a simple construction and is therefore a low-cost alternative to a phase angle contol (Type PLS). Through the extra fast pulse string the often annoying flimmer effect is nearly eliminated.

- perfect for controlling medium wave and fast medium wave emitters and modules
- Step- and lossless controls
- integrated fan supply for Optron infrared modules
- VDE and CE certified
- noise suppressed class A for industrial sectors
