Hot Metal Spin Forming
Temperature Control for Spin Forming Facilities
Hot Spin Forming has become a crucial part of the global manufacturing sector. This is especially true in industries that demand light-weight high-strength components with complex geometries, precise thicknesses, & advanced heat tolerances. Continuous real-time temperature feedback is a critical process & quality control metric. This process is used for a variety of metals, each of which present their own unique temperature measurement challenges including emissivity variations, scale, surface oxidation, & optical interferences.
Wavelength Technologies
Williamson Pyrometers use carefully selected narrowband wavelength sets & ESP filtering to overcome temperature measurement challenges associated with Hot Spin Forming. These features enable Williamson Pyrometers to provide unequalled accuracy & reliability across materials & operating conditions.

Advantages of Williamson's Wavelength Technology
Flame Interference or Flame Reflections
Short-Wavelength (SW) Pyrometers
- Maximizes temperature sensitivity while minimizing sensitivity to emissivity variation
- 16 & 2A wavelengths are confirgured to view clearly through flames without interference
No Flame Interference or Flame Reflections
Dual-Wavelength (DW) Pyrometers
-
20x less sensitive to surface oxidation & scale compared to SW & TC pyrometers
-
Carefully selected wavelengths compensate for scale, misalignment, & other common optical obstructions associated w/ steel & titanium respectively
Multi-Wavelength (MW) Pyrometers
-
Uses Application-Specific ESP Algorithms to automatically adjust for non-greybody emissivity variation
-
MW-20 utilizes carefully selected narrowband wavelength sets to compensate for changing surface characteristics associated w/ aluminum & copper
