Combining AMETEK Land’s cutting-edge, non-contact SPOT technology with specialised software algorithms, the SPOT GS is a high-precision digital pyrometer that delivers reliable temperature readings for galvannealed and galvanised steel strips.

The pyrometer provides the accurate steel temperature measurements needed for close monitoring of the reaction zone, enabling automated furnace management that in turn delivers tighter control of product quality.

By maintaining control of the reaction and position of the reaction zone, the SPOT GS accommodates rapid changes of line speed and furnace power with changes of substrate or coating weight, allowing furnace optimisation.

Building on AMETEK Land’s extensive application expertise in steel galvannealing, the SPOT GS is designed specifically for temperature measurements in the steel industry, and ensures the consistent high quality product demanded by the automotive industry.

UNIQUE PRE-SET ALGORITHMS
The GS algorithm is dedicated to fully galvannealed or galvanized surfaces. The GS+ algorithm extends functionality to include liquid surfaces seen on exit from the zinc pot.

CLOSE CONTROL FOR LOWER COSTS
The automated management provided by the SPOT GS enables furnace optimisation, which reduces heating costs, maximises throughput, and avoids excessive over-reaction. It also helps prevent powdering or flaking of the coating during subsequent forming operations.

INTEGRATION FOR AN OPTIMISED PROCESS
Combining a range of digital and analog outputs, the SPOT GS fully integrates with furnace controls, PLCs and control software, providing the measurements needed to optimise the galvanneal furnace. This enables reliable and repeatable operation, producing high-quality products with minimal scrap.

POWERFUL SOFTWARE SUPPORT
With AMETEK Land’s SPOTViewer software, the operator can quickly connect, log and view data from a SPOT GS pyrometer. Viewing and analysis is fully configurable using the flexible user interface.

SPOTPro

SPOTPro, an advanced software utility, provides a single control point to configure, store and view data for up to 40 SPOT infrared pyrometers.

Giving a complete overview of all the SPOT thermometers connected to your network, SPOTPro allows you to independently configure data logging for each thermometer, by setting automatic triggers for data storage.

SPOTPro allows users to compare live and historical data to trend and diagnose process issues. Data can be logged to an SQLite database for easy configuration or an MS SQL Server database for enterprise-level data requirements. All data can be exported to CSV or XML for integration into other processes or further processing in applications such as MS Excel.

SPOTPro supports a flexible window layout with multiple monitor support – see all the data that is most important to you prominently on screen at once.

Suitable for plants using two or more SPOT products, SPOTPro software is used to manage multiple thermometers in industries including Power Generation, Aluminium, Steel and Industrial Processing. A free 30-day trial is available for download now.

Key Features

Control Multiple SPOT Thermometers: Giving a complete overview of all the SPOT pyrometers connected to your network, SPOTPro allows you to independently configure data logging for each thermometer, by setting automatic triggers for data storage. This allows customised criteria to be set for data measurements during important events.
Flexible User Interface: SPOTPro supports a flexible window layout with multiple monitor support - see all the data that is most important to you prominently on screen at once.
Richer Data Analysis: SPOTPro allows users to compare live and historical data to trend and diagnose process issues. Switching between live and historical data enables a comprehensive review and analysis of your measurements.
