Metal

• Dye and sheet metal temperatures measured continuously for stable process control
• Process temperature: 200°C to 350°C

‍

‍

‍

• Semi-finished workpieces must reach the required forging temperature before forming
• Surface temperature is monitored before forming, after forging, and before storage
• Process temperature: 700°C to 1,250°C

‍

‍

‍

• High process temperatures mean production is almost fully automated
• Workpieces assessed immediately after removal from the mould
• Supports material evaluation and reject control
• Process temperature: 150°C to 900°C

‍

‍

• Target area heated to hardness temperature, then immediately quenched
• Strict adherence to a defined time–temperature profile achieves the required structural composition
• Process temperature: 700°C to 1,100°C

‍

‍

• Rim temperature recorded after the inductor and before the squeeze rollers
• Continuous monitoring controls joint quality in induction-welded pipe production
• Process temperature: 950°C to 1,450°

‍

‍

• Components are heated to the target temperature before entering the galvanising bath
• Optimises electrochemical reactions for copper and nickel coating processes
• Process temperature: 150°C

‍

‍

• Increasing demands on casting lines require extensive temperature monitoring
• Early detection of deviations prevents costly aborted pours at the point of origin
• Process temperature: 800°C to 1,000°C

‍

‍

• Forming temperature is measured continuously between individual rolls for process control and quality assurance
• Two devices recommended: fast pyrometer for sheet temperature; ratio pyrometer for cooling chamber and wire temperature
• Slabs cooled from approx. 1,250°C in racks; temperature measured between rollers during cooling
• Process temperature: 700°C to 1,100°C

‍

‍

• Slag — non-metallic smelting residue — must be minimised to protect end product quality
• Optris PIX Connect software measures slag percentage using infrared cameras with 7.9 μm spectral sensitivity
• Residues skimmed off where necessary
• Process temperature: 1,250°C to 1,500°C

‍

‍

• Liquid material poured into moulds; temperature recorded at the moment of casting
• Thermal data influences the cooling phase, which determines final product quality
• Process temperature: 1,250°C to 1,600°C

‍

‍

• Steel transported in torpedo wagons, slag ladle cars, and smelting ladles at approx. 1,500°C
• Even fireproof-lined vessels risk breaches at these temperatures — threatening personnel and causing million-euro damage
• Thermal imaging cameras monitor vessels and detect temperature differences that signal potential breaches
• Process temperature: 300°C to 600°C
