Measuring temperatures on metal with infrared technology by Optris

In the production as well as in the processing of metal, the monitoring of the temperature with non-contact sensors does not only help in the surveillance and optimization of the procedure, at temperatures of up to 3,000 °C (5,432 °F), it also improves workplace security.

Continuous temperature monitoring is a key factor in the rolling mill, within the induction hardening or die forming process. For these purposes, Optris has developed infrared measurement devices that are especially suited for high temperatures and rough environment of the metal industry, since non-contact temperature measurement on metal is not quite as easy, as our technicle article Non-contact temperature measurement on metal surfaces via infrared technology demonstrates.

The following articles will introduce you to several application examples. Should your application be missing, please have a look at our metal brochure or contact our application engineers to help you choose your ideally suitable infrared measuring device.
