A non-contact temperature sensor (1) suitable for use in measuring the temperature of a material blank (3). The temperature sensor (1) comprises a housing (5), an opening (7) at the forward end of the housing (5), a reflector (13) that is located within the housing (5), at least one aperture (15) that is located between the forward surface and the rearward surface of the reflector (13) and a light detector arrangement (17) located rearward of the reflector (13). The light detector arrangement (17) is orientated such that it can receive light passing through the at least one aperture (15) and it is capable of detecting at least two ranges of wavelengths of infrared light. The light detector arrangement (17) outputs data for each of the at least two ranges of wavelengths of infrared light.
