Physics Section Manager Dr. Fiona Turner will present at the Future Aluminium Forum 4.0, May 8-9, in Milan.
Dr Turner’s presentation, entitled Smart Aluminium Temperature Sensors for Industry 4.0 considers how AMETEK Land’s innovative SPOT AL EQS pyrometer, coupled with a smart actuator for automatic alignment, provides accurate temperature measurement in most current extrusion, quench and strip applications. Dr Turner will discuss how AMETEK Land is focusing its development efforts on facilitating...
Previously in Aluminium International Today, Richard Gagg discussed the importance of accurate temperature measurements for modern aluminium extrusions. In this article, he discusses parallel developments, which now enable non-contact temperature sensors to automatically and dynamically track and accommodate physical process changes as they occur. Higher quality extrusions and increased production yields can then be achieved.

Watching the prices recently for utility-scale solar power-purchase agreements has felt a bit like being a spectator at an ultra-competitive Olympic event, where each successive race delivers a new world record.
The headline-grabbing 1.79 cents per kilowatt-hour tender announced in Saudi Arabia this past October is just one indicator of a global trend, in which PPA prices have been steadily dropping. Mexico’s new record-low solar bid for Latin America is another example.
This is a mixed blessing for the...
With the experience of over 35 years in land development, The Banks Group continues to develop land throughout England and Scotland for a variety of uses including surface coalmines, onshore wind farms, commercial and residential property schemes and sustainable wastemanagement facilities.With the aim of being one of the UK’smost successful land developers, it comes as no surprise that the organisation has a strong environmental policy in place to support the continued development of the business.
Due to...
There’s a lingering image of the American Frontier where a calm breeze blows through endless prairies of tall grass, and “the skies are not cloudy all day.”As the prairies become more populated, they get paved over to make way for roads and westward expansion.The tall grass that once ran 14 feet deep is replaced with impermeable asphalt, and the calm quiet is replaced with bustling cities.On days where the blue skies are replaced with rain, the water has nowhere to go but over the impenetrable...
