An 'eye' that measures liquid steel temperatures

Contact-free measurement of the temperature of molten steel boosts the productivity of arc furnaces. Thats why Siemens has developed a system called Simetal RCB Temp, which consists of an optical sensor that can determine the temperature of the molten metal in the steel production process (over 1,500 degrees Celsius) at shorter intervals than was previously the case. As a result, the best time to tap can be determined more exactly, thus saving time and energy and increasing work safety.
