More steel with less energy
Cutting-edge technological solutions for demanding process conditionsControl your EAF process with real-time data
Luxmet’s unique EAF control technology will let you see into the light. Gain real-time information and control your electric arc furnace with more accuracy than ever before. Know exactly what is happening inside the electric arc furnace and make better decisions in process control.
Optimize the Electric Arc Furnace process
An Electric Arc Furnace generates huge amounts of light from several sources. The arc, flames, and hot slag inside the furnace all emit light. ArcSpec measures these light sources in real-time with Optical Emission Spectroscopy (OES). Light’s spectrum gives information about the melting progression and source of the light.
ArcSpec then further analyses this information into control signals. The signals are then sent to the furnace control system to make the necessary changes to optimize the process. When to start the different phases of the process and how to control the process parameters.
Increased visibility and optimization reduces the overall process time and improves energy efficiency.
More control means more benefits
Real-time measuring of EAF enables a more optimized process. Improved energy efficiency and reduced wear of equipment lead to significant cost savings. In addition, faster tap-to-tap times increase your EAF’s production capacity.

3-8 % Reduction in power consumption
Increased capacity
5-8 % Production increase
High return of investment
Typically 3-4 months payback period
Take a step to industry 4.0 with Luxmet's solutions
Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) process control
ArcSpec measures, shows, and analyzes the melting progression of the EAF hot spots and enables the optimal control of electrode power levels and other process variables.
Online temperature measurement
TempSpec is a real-time online temperature measurement system for challenging high-temperature metallurgical processes. Gain more control over your process.
Ladle furnace (LF) measurement solution
The temperature and composition of the molten metal in an LF directly affect the quality of the final product. ArcSpecLF, allows you to monitor and control both in real-time, using OES.
