About lune CHF
lune CHF GmbH develops, manufactures and distributes temperature measuring devices for non-contact in-line process control. The measurement method used is the so-called Convective-Heat-Flow method, which is based on heat flow rather than thermal radiation (infrared). The systems therefore work without optics and function in principle with all materials and surfaces, regardless of emissivity and surface condition. Typical fields of application are process control in the production and processing of wire, cables, conductors, sheet metal, strips, films, tubes, rollers, optical fibers and fibers, particularly in extrusion, rolling and finishing. In addition to its product portfolio of measuring heads and controllers, the company offers service, repair, retrofit and the development of customized measuring heads. The company is headquartered in Kalkar on the Lower Rhine; sales and support are provided locally and globally.

Measurement methods and product series
Convective-Heat-Flow method
Non-contact temperature measurement based on heat flow instead of infrared radiation; without optics and therefore suitable for all materials and surfaces.
WIRETEMP (WT)
Measuring head for wire diameters 0.075–7.00 mm in the measuring range 10–300 °C, available in three versions.
WIRETEMP LC (WTLC)
Slotted measuring head with 4 sensors for wire diameters 0.20–7.00 mm.
WIRETEMP LS
Measuring head for precise, non-contact temperature measurement on wire, cables, metallic conductors and optical fibers.
WIRETEMP SH (WTSH)
Compact measuring head for wire diameters 0.60–3.00 mm.
FLATTEMP (FLT)
Measuring head with radius-matched adapter shoes for rollers, rolls and cylindrical objects, measuring range 10–300 °C or 400 °C.
MULTITEMP (MLT)
Measuring head for round objects up to 100 mm or more, measuring range 10–300 °C, up to 400 °C in the High-Temperature version.
FIBERTEMP Textil
Measuring head for textile and technical fibers, independent of material, surface and emissivity.
FIBERTEMP LWL
Measuring head for non-contact temperature measurement of optical fibers.
EasyWireTemp
Measuring system for precise, non-contact temperature measurement on wire, cables, metallic conductors and optical fibers.
Controller CHE8000
Controller, compatible with all lune CHF measuring heads, plug & play after initial commissioning.

History
- 2008
The well-known Luxtron/Ircon system for non-contact temperature measurement is no longer manufactured; lune CHF is based on it and continues to offer overhauling and retrofitting of the devices, as well as connecting Luxtron/Ircon measuring heads to lune CHF electronics.
