Metallurgy

High resistance to harsh ambient conditions is often the priority during the production of various metals. Many sensors can tolerate the high thermal loads with special protective cases and accessories. Displacement sensors are frequently also used as well as temperature sensors. Micro-Epsilon also provides complete measurement systems for the quality control.

Liquid Aluminum Level Measurement

To obtain a homogeneous oxide-free aluminum cast, the aluminum level in the open mould must be kept constant to within 1 mm or better. A constant level is achieved by controlled tilting of the furnace. The current level is measured ...

details

Casting - temperature measurement

The measurement and the documentation of the production parameters in foundries are playing more and more important roles for the compliance with the quality requirements. Particular attention must be paid here to the measurement of ...

Melting furnace – temperature measurement

The non-contact temperature measurement in glass furnaces, melting furnaces and feeders is a more and more frequently used alternative to measurement with thermal elements. Micro-Epsilon provides infrared temperature measurement systems ...

details

Steel production and processing - temperature measurement

Infrared thermometers from Micro-Epsilon are used for almost every production stage in the manufacture of steel and aluminum. The precision pyrometers from Micro-Epsilon are used in order to obtain reliable data for efficient process control. Application ...

details

Tunnel kiln - temperature measurement

The use of precision pyrometers is indispensable for optimum furnace regulation in order to measure the exact internal temperature. The Micro-Epsilon temperature sensors have successfully proven themselves for the stationary measurement on the furnace.
