Temperature measurement in the extrusion process of aluminum, a variety of application options
An overview of the Aluminum extrusion line with a variety of options for measuring the temperature of the billets and profiles
∨ Measuring the billets with or without a scanner
∨ Measuring the Die with the A250 pyrometer
∨ Measure the profile at the die exit from above or below
∨ Measuring the profile in the cooling phase from above or below
Four scanning options:
Single “Hot Point Mode” – The pyrometer will find the hot spot and stay there till the subsequent Activation
“Continuous pendulum Mode“ – The pyrometer scans continuously from one side to the other.
One shot scan-
Once activated, the pyrometer
will scan along the billet and return to the starting point.
Program point mode–
allows to set up to 20 points, where the scanner will move from one point to another and stop for a short time for measurements.
The Scanning mode can be
a single scan or continuous.

Safety is one of the advantages of pyrometer aiming with the scanner: in a manual aiming, the operator has to aim the pyrometer when he is in a dangerous area.
Scanning by a push of a button or automatically by extrusion press PLC.
Scanner activation modes
