For large workpieces, temperature monitoring and control pose a challenge, as a single-point measurement is no longer representative of the temperature distribution across the entire workpiece. With kerify, for instance, temperature can be measured at multiple points using thermocouples, and the system ensures that a preset maximum temperature is not exceeded.
The emissivity ε plays an important role in absolute temperature measurement using a pyrometer. For example, if both a pyrometer and a thermocouple (or Pt100) are connected to kerify tc pid, a temperature-dependent emissivity can be determined in this way. See also the online error calculation tool (currently only in German available).
Other methods to determine emissivity: Simultaneous measurement with two pyrometers or scanner
With kerify, relevant process data such as temperature profile, maximum temperature, heating time, or cooling time can be easily documented for each individual workpiece / experiment. Integration into a higher-level quality assurance system is possible thanks to the open and flexible interfaces (for example REST API).
Thanks to the modular design of kerify, integration into an existing (older) system is also possible. For example, analog signals can be output or processed.
