The SnakeEye is as easy to use as a photocell, but unlike a photocell, it can apply Exergen's infrared technology to read the heat signature created by the any thermally sensitive sealant and activate an output switch set to the desired level of sensitivity. It is ideal for use in hot melt adhesive inspection and thermal signature inspection.

Exergen's SnakeEye is installed downstream of the heat source, and, utilizing two solid state switches, it detects the thermal presence of the leading and trailing edges of the heat source with an adjustable level of sensitivity. Two speed ranges are available: an -LS model for low speed and an -HS model for high speed.

Exergen's SnakeEye has a 5msec-response time for fast, accurate temperature sensing. It has a 1500ft/min (500m/min) maximum line speed. The SnakeEye can sense hot melt adhesive beads from as small as .01" (.25mm) with an unlimited maximum sensing range and can read a 4°F (2°C) temperature difference. Exergen offers its SnakeEye in a stainless steel, hermetically sealed housing for durability in extreme environments. The SnakeEye meets or exceeds all applicable NEMA ratings. Four different SnakeEye models are available to meet specific customer needs.

The SnakeEye will give 100% thermal inspection, and not only detect it's presence, but its position as well.

Industries using the SnakeEye are: food, packaging, pharmacutical, beverage, and anywhere where quality seals are important in packaging your product.
