CS400 Kiln Shell Imaging System

CS400 Linescanner System

The CS400 Kiln Shell Imaging System relies on the MP Linescanner, which provides continuous, accurate and real-time thermal images and temperature measurements for moving processes. With the ability to scan up to 1024 data points in a single scan, the MP Linescanner can provide a complete picture of even the highest speed manufacturing processes, ensuring an accurate temperature reading.

CS400 System Software

The CS400 Kiln Shell Imaging System features specially designed software, which relies on standard Ethernet ports. Because the graphic user interface is designed specifically for kiln applications, the software is easy to set up and use with little operator training required.

Once set up, the software provides a thermal image of the entire kiln shell surface, with a zoom function that allows detailed examination for key areas of interest. Temperature range and zone alarms can also be easily configured within the software and other information – such as burn zone temperature, lap time and the scanner’s internal temperature – is display in the status bar for a complete system status without changing screens.

Additional software options allow the kiln and refractory to be controlled and tracked through an integrated refractory management database and visualized in a live 3D view.

Key Features:

• Polar charts highlighting coating thickness and brick thickness
• Envelope profiles – including alarm functionality – over the entire kiln
• Built-in, on-network storage to store historical data
• Free scalable AOIs (areas, line and slice) including temperature trend analysis
• Virtual 3D walkthroughs across the entire kiln
• 3D views available per each defined kiln zone
• Easy-to-use software configurations that showcase the scanner position relative to the kiln
• Flexible image sizing and configurable orientations of rotation
• Fail-safe “hot spot” alarm outputs
