Zusammenfassung:	A spray quenching system including a quench box configured to receive a part for quenching. The system may include mechanical arms disposed within the quench box and thermocouples disposed on the mechanical arms that may be moved to contact the part surface. The system may include non-contact temperature sensors within the quench box that measure the temperature part surface, and spray nozzles within the quench box that spray the part with a quenching fluid. The system may include a controller in electronic communication with the mechanical arms, the spray nozzles, the thermocouples, and the non-contact temperature sensors, that is configured to initiate a quenching process, receive temperature data, analyze the temperature data to determine a temperature difference value, determine that the temperature difference value exceeds a threshold temperature difference value, and adjust the quenching process if the temperature difference value exceeds the threshold temperature difference value. Un sistema de enfriamiento por aspersión que incluye una caja de enfriamiento configurada para recibir una parte para enfriamiento. El sistema puede incluir brazos mecánicos dispuestos dentro de la caja de enfriamiento y termopares dispuestos en los brazos mecánicos que se pueden mover para entrar en contacto con la superficie de la parte. El sistema puede incluir sensores de temperatura sin contacto dentro de la caja de enfriamiento que miden la superficie de la parte de temperatura, y boquillas de aspersión dentro de la caja de enfriamiento que rocían la parte con un fluido de enfriamiento. El sistema puede incluir un controlador en comunicación electrónica con los brazos mecánicos, las boquillas de aspersión, los termopares y los sensores de temperatura sin contacto, que está configurado para iniciar un proceso de enfriamiento, recibir datos de temperatura, analizar los datos de temperatura para determinar un valor de diferencia de temperatura, determinar que el valor de diferencia de temperatura excede un valor de diferencia de temperatura umbral y ajustar el proceso de enfriamiento si el valor de diferencia de temperatura excede el valor de diferencia de temperatura umbral.
