Introducing The New SPOT+ Pyrometer For Reheat Furnace Applications

Tuesday, October 8, 2024

AMETEK Land has released a new smart application pyrometer for reheat furnace applications.

The new SPOT+ M390 is one of the first single-unit solutions for temperature measurement in reheat furnace applications and is a suitable upgrade from the now-discontinued FTS.

SPOT+ M390 High-Temperature Measurement in Reheat and Industrial Furnaces - Application Note (EN)The 3.9 µm spectral response gives the pyrometer the ability to see through any red or orange flames in smoky atmospheres with minimal disruption.

Steelmakers will also be able to achieve better process optimisation due to an integrated background compensation without the need for an external processor. Accurate temperature measurements during the reheat process minimise the risk of damage, reduce fuel consumption and Increase throughput.

Another benefit of the SPOT+ M390  is its on-board web server and intelligent communications, enabling seamless integration with existing factory automation systems. This forward-thinking design ensures compatibility with modern industrial infrastructure, without the need for complex or costly modifications

Derek Stuart, Global Product Manager at AMETEK Land, says: “The M390 is the latest addition to our successful range of SPOT+ pyrometers which have proven their accuracy and reliability in a wide variety of demanding industrial measurement applications. The built-in background temperature correction accepts an input from a pyrometer or thermocouple and allows for an accurate measurement of the billet temperature.”

With simplicity for the end user being the driving force in the creation of this product, together with its impressive capabilities, AMETEK Land are confident the SPOT+ M390 be a valuable investment for steel rolling mill producers looking to increase their operational efficiency in reheat furnace operations.
