JUMO to Showcase Digital Process Solutions at HärtereiKongress 2026

To meet rising demands for traceability, energy efficiency, and international standards in thermal processing, JUMO will present its comprehensive solution portfolio at the HärtereiKongress in Cologne (October 13 to 15, 2026, Hall 10.2, Booth A-022). The trade fair presence focuses on end-to-end digital architectures that enable industrial furnace operators to achieve seamless process documentation and precise control over sensitive heat treatment processes.

Automated Temperature Capture and Batch Logging
A technological focal point is the paperless screen recorder JUMO LOGOSCREEN 700 with integrated TUS (Temperature Uniformity Surveys) functionality. This solution automates the collection, evaluation, and documentation of temperature data, significantly streamlining documentation workloads and audit processes. This is complemented by the modular automation system JUMO variTRON. Featuring the new "Process Technology" application and input modules specifically designed for thermocouples, the system offers tailored functions for batch logging. Matthias Weise, Sales Manager at JUMO, emphasizes that these digitalization steps ensure end-to-end traceability of manufacturing workflows and enhance operational transparency.

Functional Safety and Precise Power Control
Because heat treatment combines high temperatures with critical process parameters, functional safety is taking center stage. For reliable monitoring of safety-relevant temperatures, the company is introducing the JUMO safetyM TA safety temperature limiter, which effectively protects equipment, workpieces, and operating personnel while supporting modern safety architectures. To ensure energy-efficient and stable plant operations, the JUMO TYA BL30x and HL30x thyristor power controllers complete the portfolio. These power controllers enable high-precision control of electrical heating systems in industrial ovens, which is essential for maintaining exact temperature profiles and securing consistent product quality.

Additional Context: TUS Testing and Metallurgical Process Security
This section provides technological background not explicitly detailed in the original release. In safety-critical industries such as aerospace (AMS 2750) or automotive manufacturing (CQI-9), Temperature Uniformity Surveys (TUS) are mandatory to validate the spatial temperature distribution within the usable furnace volume. Even minor thermal deviations during heat treatment—such as quenching or tempering—can alter the crystalline microstructure of the metal and drastically impair the mechanical load-bearing capacity of the final product. Manual evaluation of measurement data from numerous thermocouples is extremely time-consuming. By integrating TUS algorithms directly into digital screen recorders, the complex calculation of tolerance bands, overshoots, and dwell times is fully automated. This generates instantly compliant, tamper-proof logs, allowing plant operators to minimize setup times and definitively prove process capability during rigorous quality audits.
