Comprehensive temperature and defect analysis across bar products during casting and rolling.
Global Gauge’s Thermal Profile System provides comprehensive temperature and defect analysis across bar products during casting and rolling operations. This advanced non-contact measurement solution combines precision thermal imaging with intelligent analytics to ensure consistent mill performance and product quality.
High-resolution infrared imaging of the bar across casting and rolling stations.
Software builds a continuous temperature profile and flags out-of-range zones in real time.
Thermal anomalies are correlated with downstream surface defects to predict quality issues.
Profile and defect data published to the L2 system for casting speed and roll-pressure control.
