aluminum Strip Thermometer - AST

The Land aluminum Strip Thermometer system is specifically designed to provide the aluminum hot rolling industry with a solution to one of its most difficult problems - accurate and reproducible temperature measurement of bright, semi-finished hot alloy strips.

AST is capable of providing more accurate temperature measurement than any other thermometer available.

Thermometer and Signal Processor

Key Features	Key Benefits
Automatically copes with varying alloy types and emissivities. Accurate optimization using dedicated set-up unit. Computer software to automate system optimization. Highly reliable, drift-free measurement. The LMG AR Processor provides digital indication of temperature as well as 0 or 4 to 20mA analog outputs for connection to data recording or mill control equipment. An optional math Function Card permits mathematical comparisons to be made between thermometer inputs. Results may be used to drive outputs to the plant control system. Supports RS232C and RS485 serial communications.	Reduced re-annealing costs. Reduced finishing costs. AST can infer potential problems on preceding Breakdown Mill operations, ie reduction in coolant. Improved process control. Accurate reliable temperature measurement to within +10 °C/18 °F after optimization. Improved accuracy over both single and dual wavelength thermometers.
