The amount of aluminum extruded has increased considerably in recent years due to the metal’s wide availability and relatively low cost.

Advanced Energy (AE) has devoted more than three decades to perfecting power – enabling design breakthroughs and driving growth for its customers. The company’s precision power and control technologies, combined with its application know-how, inspire close partnerships and innovation.

The SPOT AL EQS (SPOT aluminum extrusion, quench and strip) pyrometer provides high accuracy and a three-in-one capability specifically for aluminum applications, including extrusion press exit, extrusion press quench zone and aluminum strip mills.

Here we look at the common influences on inaccurate temperature measurement.

Endurance Series high-temperature ratio pyrometers enable continuous visual process monitoring in harsh industrial environments, including primary and secondary metals manufacturing and carbon processing.

PSC-G54NL/NV and PSC-S54NL/NV deliver high-resolution fixed focus optics with small spot sizes, digital RS485 communication interface, analog 4 to 20 mA output and fast speed of response.

Suited for applications where the temperature across an object is crucial, ISR 6-TI Advanced combines an infrared pyrometer with infrared imaging capabilities.

A series of fully integrated infrared pyrometers provide simple installation, high accuracy, flexibility and ease of use.

Sirius SI23, with laser sighting, delivers high-resolution fixed focus optics with small spot size, digital RS232 or RS485 communication interfaces, analog 4-20 mA output, and very fast (5ms) speed of response.
