In the glass industry, temperature precision defines quality. Every stage of production — from melting and forming to annealing — relies on maintaining exact thermal conditions to produce durable, defect-free glass. Infrared temperature monitoring provides the accuracy and responsiveness needed for these demanding processes. By using non-contact infrared sensors and cameras, manufacturers can measure and control temperature in real time, even in extreme heat environments. This technology enhances process efficiency, reduces waste, improves product consistency, and ensures safer working conditions, making it an essential tool in modern glass manufacturing.

Achieving consistent flame hardening results starts with precision.
Flame hardening offers durability and wear resistance, but without accurate temperature control, results can be inconsistent or even damaging. Discover how specialised 3.9µm infrared technology overcomes traditional measurement challenges by seeing through flames for precise surface temperature monitoring. With cost-effective, non-contact solutions, you can improve your hardening outcomes, reduce brittleness, and gain better process control.

Challenges in Infrared Temperature Measurement for Aluminium Rolling Processes
The aluminium rolling process is critical to the aluminium manufacturing industry, where precise temperature measurement is essential for ensuring high-quality product output and protecting equipment. This process produces aluminium coils through various methods, including cold rolling, direct casting, and continuous casting, and plays a fundamental role in determining the material's final properties.

Heat, fuel sources, and oxygen are known to be fire hazards in a shredding facility that runs unattended for a long time. Because of the friction created by the waste, heat is produced that, when combined with oxygen, can ignite flammable substances like fuels, oils, grease, and materials like paper and cardboard.
