Infrared (IR) thermometers allow noncontact measurement of surface temperatures by analyzing the invisible, infrared spectrum emitted from an object. IR devices make it safe to take surface temperature measurements of items like rotating, hard-to-reach, electrically live, or dangerously hot targets. For preventive maintenance tasks, they cut measurement time to almost zero with the ability to take a surface temperature reading in less than 1 second.
