The application of infrared thermal imager cameras in forging processes is very widespread, mainly reflected in the following aspects:
Temperature monitoring and control: During the forging process, metal materials need to be heated within a certain temperature range to facilitate plastic deformation. The infrared thermal imaging camera can monitor the temperature distribution on the surface of the forging in real-time, ensuring uniform temperature, avoiding overheating or overcooling, and thereby improving forging quality and yield.
Fault detection: Through the infrared thermal imager camera, temperature anomalies in forging equipment, such as overheated areas or uneven cooling issues of heating furnaces, forging hammers, and forging presses, can be detected. Timely detection and elimination of faults ensure the normal operation of the equipment.
Process optimization: The infrared thermal imaging camera can help optimize forging process parameters. By analyzing the temperature distribution of forgings under different process conditions, parameters such as heating time and forging speed can be adjusted to achieve the best forging effect and improve product performance and quality.
Quality control: During the forging process, real-time temperature monitoring of forgings with an infrared thermal imager camera can effectively prevent internal defects caused by uneven temperature, such as cracks and pores, ensuring product quality.
Energy consumption management: By monitoring the energy consumption of heating equipment with the infrared thermal imager, the main energy consumption links can be identified, effective measures can be taken to reduce energy consumption, improve energy utilization efficiency, and lower production costs.
Safety assurance: The infrared thermal imaging camera can measure the temperature of high-temperature forgings remotely and non-contact, reducing the danger to operators and ensuring production safety.
The application of infrared thermal imagers in forging processes can not only improve production efficiency and product quality but also reduce energy consumption and production costs, having significant application value.
