Metallurgy
Monitoring rolling mills, furnaces and casting-line assets
Our solutions for this industry
In metallurgy, a rolling mill or furnace outage means scrap, lost metal and missed orders. High temperatures and torque demand continuous monitoring of rolls, drives and auxiliary equipment.
Bently Nevada — vibration monitoring
Continuous vibration protection for mill rolls, spindles and drives, plus ID fans and auxiliary assets on the hot mill line.
Learn moreArtesis — motor current monitoring
Main mill drives and auxiliaries diagnosed from electrical signatures — no sensors in the hot zone.
Learn moreSDT Ultrasound
Fan and pump bearing checks, crane diagnostics, compressed-air and steam leak surveys in mill utilities.
