Typical installation positions in the process line Slab dimension / position measurement and tracking with EMG iSCAN® » after the continuous casting process (conventional continuous caster) » before the heating furnace » before the tunnel furnace (CSP® plants) Strip position measurement and guiding with EMG hotCAM

Slab dimension measurement Width, length and thickness - with EMG iSCAN® the non-contact and precise measurement of the slab geometry is realised. The number, type and configuration of the laser-based sensors are adapted to your individual application. Measuring accuracy* As far as technically possible, the laser sensors required for the application have laser protection class 2. Our sensors are ideally suited for harsh environmental conditions, e.g. high temperatures. Slab positioning & tracking Further areas of application of EMG iSCAN® are the slab tracking on the roller table from the slab...

Position measurement The hot rolling process is typically a combination of a reversing stand (roughing stand) and a finishing line with several rolling stands. Maintaining a defined position of the strip bet-ween the rolling stands is enormously important for process reliability in a hot rolling mill. The continuous measurement of the strip position with our EMG hotCAM solution enables you to optimise the adjustment of rolling force and gap. The measuring accuracy of our system is +/- 1.5 mm. reversing stands this leads to a reduction of the strip camber and thus to the avoidance of collisions...

Control algorithm with SMS X-Pact® Using the EMG hotCAM centre position, a closed control loop can be realised in a finishing line. EMG draws on the many years of experience of the SMS Group, which has developed the SMS X-Pact®, a product that demonstrably stabilises the rolling process. With this combination of position measurement on the hot strip EMG hotCAM and the closed control loop, EMG offers comprehensive process optimisation in the hot strip area. Advantages EMG hotCAM & SMS X-Pact® » Sheared strip ends are reduced » Fewer unscheduled roll changes necessary » Improvement of process stability...
