Tempering - temperature measurement

Stresses can occur during induction hardening which can be counteracted by heating up again to the tempering temperature. However, temperatures lower than those used for hardening are involved. The temperatures are measured ...

Sheet thickness

It is often the case for sheet machining that sheets must be transported individually in machines. Therefore, it is essential that only one sheet gets into the machine. If two sheets are on top of each other, the process will ...

Bolts – temperature measurement

Bolts are preheated to 400 °C - 500 °C in order to be pressed easily by the die. Micro-Epsilon pyrometers are used to measure the temperature. Maintenance of the optimum preheating temperature is important in order to ensure ...

Strip width when trimming metal strips

As different widths are frequently required during the production of metal strips, the strips must be trimmed after the rolling process and both the cutters must be movable electrically. The distance is now measured by difference measurement using ...

Weld seam inspection on pipes

A perfect weld seam is essential in a leak tight pipe. scanCONTROL laser scanners are therefore used during spiral welding to align the weld flanks. This results in a much more reliable welding process. The long base distance of 600mm and the protective ...

Extrusion - temperature measurement

Precise temperature measurement at several places is necessary for extrusion: after preheating the bolt, for the discharge of the profile from the die and for quenching the extruded product. An additional check of the tool temperature is usually carried ...

Roller levitation height

The distance of both rollers from each other or from the roller to the support surface is the crucial dimension for rolling processes for metals, plastics or other materials. In the case of sensitive processes and high material accuracies, the lift of the ...

Roller runout

The runout of the roller is a crucial criterion for rolling processes of metals, plastics or other materials. An imbalance is even dangerous for rollers which have to rotate at high speeds. Therefore, the roundness of the roller must be measured before and ...
