THERMAL IMAGING SYSTEM FOR MEASURING MELT TEMPERATURE
Abstract
An engineering and technical system (ETS) for automation of metal melt temperature control in foundry furnaces based on contactless thermal imaging monitoring is presented. The system is implemented using the «Pergam Spectr 640 UC»[1] thermal imager and «Pergam IResearch» software, which provide calculation of the melt mirror temperature, data recording and visualization. Testing was carried out on three melts of «МА8Цч»[2] alloy in a «K.M.T. ПП-140» gas furnace. The ETS revealed the heating dynamics, the moment of melting of the charge and local inhomogeneities, replacing manual measurements. The monitoring accuracy was ±15°C, which meets the requirements of process control).
