The Aluminium Die Thermometer (ADT) is designed
specifically to provide temperature measurement of the die
prior to being loaded into the press.

Why Measure Temperature?
Dies are preheated because hot, extruding aluminium
coming into contact with a cold die would solidify
immediately causing the process to stop
Many dies will be placed in a die oven to be
preheated before being loaded into the press
Occasionally, a die will be inadvertently removed for
loading before it has fully preheated to the specified
temperature, typically ~450°C
An under temperature die must be detected before it is loaded into the press and
causes a significant process stoppage with resulting loss in process
efficiency and profitability
