The now shaped but still glowing hot metal parts continue along on the conveyor through the underground “subway” to a “Hot Inspect Operator” who halts the line roughly every five minutes. The operator runs through a series while the part is at 1800 degrees checking for wall thickness and length. This is a critical quality check to ensure the press system is forging the steel correctly before the billets go further through the process.
