Non-contact infrared temperature control in alumium rolling process

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.

Temperature monitoring in the metal casting process

During metal casting, the liquid material is poured into a mould, which, after solidification, becomes a solid body.

Optris has launched CTratio, offering many improved parameters and new features such as the low bottom temperature of 275 °C, a maximum ambient temperature of up to 315 °C without cooling, and a green sighting laser.

Smarter Format Change – Power Pack in the Industrial Ethernet

The motorized size changeover of machine spindles or machine axes is now being implemented in various ways. The solutions to this are often relatively rudimentary and result in the fact that no handwheel or crank is rotated, with one or more buttons being pressed instead. Whether this meets the requirements of a smart process chain or Industry 4.0 is questionable. Intelligent positioning drives can be an efficient solution in such a case.

Keeping your optical distance

To supplement their range of devices to measure lengths, angles, rotational speed and inclines, SIKO GmbH, has released an all-new set of distance sensors covering a wealth of applications. Both the LA170 and LA060 sensors measure distances visually and are primarily used in automation processes.

New ultrasonic water meter for instantaneous measurements

ELIS, manufacturer and supplier of flow meters, has launched a battery-powered ultrasonic water meter intended for measuring flow rate instantaneously and pressure and consumption in water piping (standard EN 14154 for water works), water distribution systems and other industrial applications.

New wire-actuated encoder with 4000mm measuring length

Siko’s new wire-actuated encoder SG42, with a robust design and redundant sensor system for measuring 4000 mm length.

Monitran's new compact hand-held vibration meter

Monitran’s MTN/VM220, a compact, handheld meter for measuring vibration levels. It is a rechargeable, portable instrument designed to operate with a constant current accelerometer to provide accurate vibration measurements. Conforming to ISO10816-3, the MTN/VM220 is engineered to detecting the early signs of component wear or failure in pumps, motors, gearboxes and other mechanical assemblies.

Michell Instruments Unveils New Relative Humidity Hygrometer

Michell Instrument  has announced the unveiling of the MDM25, a new portable relative humidity hygrometer, which replaces their model DM509.
