High Thermal Image Measurement CPA-RA Series For Steel Industry

High Thermal Image Measurement CPA-RA: A Reliable Solution for the Steel Industry

In steel manufacturing processes such as heating, rolling, and melting, temperature control plays a critical role in determining product quality, operational safety, and production efficiency. Conventional single-point temperature measurement is often insufficient for modern steel plants. This is where High Thermal Image Measurement systems, such as the CPA-RA series, become essential.

Why Thermal Imaging Is Important in Steel Plants

Steel processes involve extremely high temperatures and harsh environments. Thermal imaging allows operators to visualize temperature distribution across an entire area, rather than relying on a single measurement point. This helps to:

  • Detect abnormal hot spots at an early stage
  • Maintain consistent steel quality
  • Reduce equipment damage and unplanned downtime
  • Improve safety in high-temperature operations

What Is the CPA-RA Series

The CPA-RA series is a high-temperature thermal imaging system designed for industrial applications, particularly in the steel industry. It supports a wide temperature range and uses near-infrared wavelength (0.9 μm), enabling temperature measurement through observation windows, which is ideal for furnaces and enclosed processes.

The system is equipped with a water-cooled housing, allowing stable operation even in extremely harsh, high-temperature environments.

Key Features

  • Wide temperature range: 700–1450°C or 1200–2550°C
  • High-resolution imaging: 720 × 540 pixels for clear thermal visualization
  • Window-through measurement using near-infrared technology
  • Easy installation with PoE (Power over Ethernet)
  • Multi-camera support: up to 4 units in one system
  • Multiple field-of-view options: 10°, 20°, 30°, and 40°

Typical Applications in the Steel Industry

  • Temperature monitoring inside furnaces and reheating ovens
  • Surface temperature inspection of hot steel products
  • Continuous monitoring of critical high-temperature zones
  • Data recording for process optimization and quality improvement

User-Friendly Software

The CPA-RA system is supported by CPY-VXGR software, which provides spot, line, and area measurement, trend display, emissivity correction, and data storage. This allows engineers and operators to easily analyze thermal data and improve process control.

Conclusion

For steel manufacturers seeking higher accuracy, improved safety, and better process visibility, the CPA-RA High Thermal Image Measurement system offers a practical and reliable solution. It transforms thermal data into actionable insights, supporting stable and efficient steel production.
