Temperature Measurement for the Metal and Steel Industry
Solid metals, regardless of where they sit on the periodic table, are more pliable and easier to form when hot. That’s why the metal and steel industry often uses furnaces to liquify, pour, form, and normalize metals during manufacturing.
KEYENCE sensors provide measurement and inspection solutions for every branch of the metal and steel industry and every manufacturing step, including hot metal rolling, cold metal rolling, forming, etc. Since the metal is too hot for most physical sensors to have physical contact, KEYENCE offers a thermometry solution in the form of an FT Series non-contact infrared temperature sensor, which relies on blackbody radiation to detect temperature. The lack of physical contact between the sensor and the object eliminates the error caused by the temperature and hot surroundings.
