Rolling mill
At a rolling mill, a continuous measurement of forming temperature between individual rolls leads to an optimzed process control and quality assurance. As a rolling mill consits of various stations, we recommend two devices: A fast pyrometer for sheet temperature measurement and a ratio pyrometer for the cooling chamber and wire temperature measurement.
Recommended devices: Fast infrared thermometer optris CTlaser 1M/2M and ratio pyrometer optris CTratio 1M

Die forming
Within the die forming process the temperature of the blank needs to be measured before it is getting hot formed. Furthermore the formed part after forming and before the storage should be measured. It is basically recommended to use either an online pyrometer for permanent temperature monitoring or a handheld for sporadic measurements.
Recommended devices: Online infrared thermometer optris CTlaser 1M and handheld pyrometer optris P20 1M

Maintenance
Maintenance within the metal industry helps with the early detection of wear in the refractory lining of torpedo cars, slag cars, and ladles. The scheduled maintenance reduces or eliminates the risk of metal runouts. An online thermal imager is recommended for a permanent monitoruing and automatic alarming on detection of hot spots on the outer wall.
Recommended devices: Online infrared camera optris PI160

Induction hardening
Within induction hardening processes, the adherence to an optimum temperature-time profile is essential in order to achieve the desired microstructure of the metal. The process temperature lies between 700 and 1100°C and it is recommended to use an online pyrometer for permanent temperature monitoring and/or a handheld for sporadic measurements.
