Precision Measurement Solutions for Steel & Metals

In the demanding world of steel and metal production – where plants run 24/7 in harsh conditions – precision measurement is mission-critical. Without reliable in-process measurement systems, manufacturers risk higher energy costs, production waste, inconsistent product quality, and reputational damage.

At Control Metrix, we specialise in delivering robust, non-contact measurement and control systems that thrive in those extreme environments. Our solutions give metal producers real-time control over critical parameters, helping maintain efficiency, consistency, and competitive advantage.

Why Measurement Matters in Metal Production

  • Continuous operation, minimal maintenance – Our systems are engineered to cope with temperature extremes, dust, vibration, and wear, without requiring constant recalibration.
  • Reduce material waste & energy loss – Accurate control of variables means fewer scrapped products and more streamlined energy usage.
  • Ensure product consistency – Precise control over temperature, dimension, and speed reduces variability and strengthens confidence in your output.
  • Speed to correction – Real-time data lets you detect drift or process faults early, rather than waiting for lab feedback.

What We Measure & Control

Temperature & Thermal Imaging

We offer a selection of non-contact pyrometers and thermal imaging systems (e.g. Impac Pyrometers, Mikron) to track surface and in-process temperatures. These tools are ideal for furnace monitoring, heat treatment, annealing, and controlling thermal zones in rolling, casting, or reheating.

Dimensional & Speed Measurement

Using laser-based measurement systems, such as LaserSpeed Pro, we measure strip width, length, thickness, speed, and profile with high precision — ideal for metal strip, coils, sheet, and hot-rolled operations.

Process Control via Power & Heat

Beyond measurement, we integrate SCR thyristor power controllers and related control systems to close the loop between measurement and actuation. This helps maintain setpoints more tightly, reduces overshoot, and improves overall efficiency.
