Chameleon® - Semi-Continuous, Optical Temperature Measurement
Chameleon® is the most novel application of optical fiber technology to measure fast and accurate temperature in molten metal.
- Chameleon measurements take 10 seconds versus 2 to 3 minutes with a lance and disposable probe
- Quicker reaction time due to instant data availability in the control room
- Temperature development prediction lets your operator reliably tap at the optimal time
- Optimize power on time to save energy
- Reduce overheat and decrease carbon footprint
- Increase safety because Chameleon is operated from the control room during the process
Rugged, Shop-Floor Construction
- A robust wire feeder assembly designed for the shop floor
- A rugged control cabinet with armored interface cables
Shop Floor Safety Designed
- High capacity, individually calibrated, fiber optic coils capable of approximately 650 measurements
- Coil (consumable) replace every week
High Visibility Controls and Displays
- The remote human machine interface (HMI) connects the operator with the system to take measurements on-demand with an unmatched cycle time over existing measurement solutions
Reliable Measurement Technology
- As a leader in temperature measurement technology for molten metal, Heraeus Electro-Nite calibrates and tracks each coil system for consistent accuracy
