Aluminum: Are you ready to take in the challenge?
Within the automotive industry, aluminum is an increasingly attractive choice due to its strength and lightweight properties, which is ideal to satisfy current demands regarding speed and shape. As such, being able to master aluminum will undoubtedly give you an edge in this highly competitive environment.
However, not everyone is ready to work with aluminum. Since this metal requires much lower temperatures for hot stamping, it is only possible to conduct the process with a few carefully selected sensors and an optimized strategy.
Benefit from our expertise and get the specialized tools you need to master aluminum
The PH-Inspector, our solution for thermal inline monitoring, has the versatility you need to monitor aluminum sheets, as well as common metals. Thanks to its open system, you can easily integrate aluminum-friendly sensors (e.g Endurance, MI3, Line Scanner) and acquire data without fear of skewed results.
PH-Inspector:
- full CQI-9 Rev. 4 conformity of the IR temperature measurement
- recording independent of PLC cycle times
- support for tailored tempering
- monitoring of transfer zones, independent of sheet position
- support of IR line scanners, IR thermal imaging cameras and pyrometers
- can be combined with SelVision camera solutions (position control, destacking, etc)
- in cycle protocols for the connection with higher-level QS systems
- automated report feature
- open system for an individual extension
