SMARTPOUR and SMARTPOUR 2D are both non - contact infrared molten metal temperature monitoring system which automatically checks the stream temperature as it pours into the mould. Commonly used on Automatic Pouring lines.

THE SMARTPOUR SYSTEM COMPRISES

A 2 - colour, ratio, infrared thermometer with air purge, water cooler, adjustable mounting bracket, protective lens assembly, eyepiece filter and cable.

A "Smartprint" remote wall, bench or panel mounting signal processor / power supply / Read - out cabinet with printer. A separate Operators - Box and a large separate Display can be supplied.

SMARTPOUR 2D is a recent development with completely digitally processed signals. The Electronics Unit has the duals function of signed processor and Operator's panel.

It has all the facilities of SMARTPOUR except that it has only one display and no local printer.

Alarm levels and other settings are carried out using 'UP/DOWN' buttons within the Signal processing Unit. RS 232 & RS 485 Serial Outputs provide links to Computer, Printer and repeat Indicators.

Installed on the moulding line SMARTPOUR, automatically monitors, stores and displays the pouring temperature, into each mould.
In "normal" mode, it alerts the operator and gives a printout if High or Low Limits of Acceptance are exceeded.

High or Low temperature limits are set, manually, at the front panel where "POUR TEMPERATURE", "POURING TIME", in seconds, and "POUR NUMBER" are displayed.

SMARTPOUR may be used to monitor a continous molten stream, when a representative temperature will be computed, for each 20 seconds segment.

In "Normal" mode, all this data plus time and date, are printed when temperature limits are exceeded : simultanously, audible and/or visible alarms, if fitted, alert pouring staff.
Print out of all measurements may be selected at the Smartprint panel, say for a particular batch of moulds, or for a Quality Audit.

SMARTPOUR may also be used at other points in the melting process, at the Induction Furnace or for any Stream Temperatures.
Other applications for Smartprint are the monitoring and processing of intermittent, noisy or variable signals requiring a representative measured value to be printed.
