Abstract
An example system for controlling heating of a workpiece includes: an interface configured to receive a target temperature (T) for the workpiece; a processor configured to: select a current temperature (T) for the workpiece based on monitoring one or more temperature sensors; and set a control temperature (T) based on the received target temperature and T; and a control system configured to: control heating of the workpiece via a heating device until the workpiece reaches Tas measured by at least one of the one or more temperature sensors, and controlling the heating device to stop heating the workpiece in response to the workpiece reaching T; wherein: the processor is configured to characterize a temperature ramp rate based on a measured temperature overshoot at the workpiece after turning off the heating device; and the control system is configured to control heating of the workpiece to Tby controlling the heating device based on the temperature ramp rate.
