Measuring system Cella CASTfor non-contact temperature measurement of molten metal in terms oF

Application note Measuring system CellaCAST Measuring points in a casting plant 1 Melting furnace 2 Decanting the melt 3 Casting from the ladle Cupola furnace Casting gravity cast Transport ladle Pouring ladle Measurement of molten metal Temperature is one of the most critical process parameters affecting the resulting quality, strength and working properties of a metal casting. Molten metal which is too hot will damage the sand moulds. A temperature which is too low will result in low fluidity. Especially complex and thin-walled cast metal parts demand precisely controlled casting temperatures....

Solution The CellaCAST PA 80 is used to measure the temperature of liquid metal in runners. It has a very high-resolution optical system and therefore safely detects slag and oxide-free spots within the running melt even from a great distance. The temperature is measured and displayed periodically. The measurement readings can be displayed online, recorded and archived either with a data logger available on site or with the PC software CellaVIEW that comes with the CellaCAST system. For optical alignment and control of the target area the devices are equipped with through-the-lens sighting, a...

Video camera As an option, the pyrometer can be equipped with a built-in colour video camera to view the target. Based on the latest HDR (High Dynamic Range) technology, the camera provides a higher dynamic range from the imaging process and automatic exposure control. The video image appears without over-exposure and glare. Another special feature is TBC (target brightness control). The light sensitivity adapts dynamically to the target object captured within the measurement spot to produce a high-contrast image of the target, regardless of whether the object focused on is cooler or hotter than...
