“When rebuilding one of our clamshell furnaces we opted for four Impac ISR 6 pyrometers for precise temperature measurement. I am very impressed with the quality of every component from the cooling jackets to the sensors themselves, which seem exceptionally well made. I would not hesitate to contact Control Metrix in the future for any other applications that I may need help/equipment for.”
Advanced non-contact sensors and measurement systems
At Control Metrix, we recognise the critical importance of robust, mill-worthy measurement technologies in modern steelmaking and downstream processing. Inadequate in-process measurement can lead to inconsistent product quality, reduced yield, and avoidable inefficiencies. Drawing on many years of industry experience, we supply advanced non-contact sensors and measuring systems designed specifically for the harsh and demanding environments found in steel production. Our portfolio includes laser Doppler speed and length gauges, as well as high-accuracy infrared pyrometers for precise temperature monitoring at every stage of the process. These technologies provide real-time process measurement at critical points in the process enhancing process efficiency and product quality providing a measurable competitive advantage for steel producers and finishing lines.
Real-Time Process Measurement
Integrating infrared pyrometers and laser Doppler gauges directly into the production line enables manufacturers to obtain immediate, accurate process feedback. When these measurements are connected to the plant’s SCADA or automation infrastructure, operators gain a comprehensive, real-time overview of all critical parameters. This enhanced visibility supports faster decision-making, improved process control, and greater operational efficiency across the mill.

What we Measure
Accurate and Dependable Non-Contact Speed & Length Measurement
Leading steel and aluminium producers worldwide rely on the LaserSpeed Pro for precise, non-contact speed and length measurement. Using proven Laser Doppler Velocimetry (LDV) technology, the system delivers exceptionally high accuracy in determining product velocity and length, even under demanding mill conditions. A full range of models is available to suit virtually any application hot or cold across the entire process, from continuous casting, hot rolling to cold rolling and downstream finishing operations.
Advanced Temperature Measurement
With rising energy costs and increasingly stringent quality requirements, precise temperature control has never been more critical for the steel industry. Control Metrix offers a comprehensive portfolio of high-performance pyrometers and thermal imaging systems designed for accurate, non-contact temperature measurement across every stage of steel production. Drawing on many years of application experience, we specify and supply reliable infrared measurement solutions that provide the stable, repeatable data essential for process optimisation, product consistency, and operational efficiency.
