Thickness measurement of slabs during rough rolling In order to monitor the slab thickness during the first rolling processes, laser distance sensors are used which measure from above onto the rolled material. Due to the high temperatures, steam and emulsions, measurement from a long distance is required, for which optoNCDT ILR3800 laser distance sensors are used. The sensors determine the thickness from the difference between the rolling mill and the slab on top. Sensor: optoNCDT ILR3800 Thickness measurement from above the slab Diameter measurement of rings during rolling In ring rolling, stainless...

■ True 3D measurement of profiles ■ Non-contact measurement with high accuracy ■ Ideal for monitoring and process control

Precise distance measurement with patented Blue Laser Technology Inspecting the longitudinal profile of shaped steels In section rolling mills, shaped steels are usually rolled in reversing operation. After the hot rolled bars (up to 1200 °C) have left the rolling stand, they are checked for dimensional accuracy. Here, Blue Laser sensors measure the rod center at material speeds of up to 10 m/s. The optoNCDT1750-750BL is equipped with the patented Blue Laser Technology and measures reliably on glowing objects. Special optical filters block out the intrinsic radiation of the glowing target.

True 3D measurement of profiles Non-contact measurement with high accuracy Ideal for monitoring and process control

3D profile measuring systems for long products The MPG 8208 systems are designed as horseshoe frames and are individually integrated into the line. Inside the frame are six laser line triangulation sensors and a fully automated calibration system. The lasers project straight lines onto the surface to be measured. These lines are deformed from the camera’s point of view. The basic calibration of the sensor serves as a reference to convert the deviation into concrete measured values. Profile measuring system: dimensionCONTROL MPG 8208 High measurement accuracy and point resolution Gap measurement...

Optical thickness gauges for flat products thicknessCONTROL MTS 8202 systems are used for process-reliable thickness measurement in cold rolling mills. Measurements are also possible on reflective and shiny surfaces, e.g., copper strip, coated metal and highgloss aluminum. For these measurements, the systems are equipped with confocal sensors that also measure reliably on changing surfaces. The measurement is carried out without contact and thus reaction-free, so that even sensitive materials can be measured reliably. The high measuring rates also allow for dynamic processes to be detected reliably....

One system records the strip thickness before coating and one system monitors the thickness after the coating is applied. The coating thickness is determined from the difference between the two measured values and transferred to the system controller. The systems are equipped with confocal sensors that achieve high...

Thickness and width measurement of individual rings after a slitting shear Thickness and width measurements of metal strips thicknessCONTROL MWS 8201.LLT combines thickness and width measurements in one O-frame system equipped with three laser line sensors. Two sensors are integrated in the upper belt and one sensor in the lower belt. While the sensors continuously detect the thickness profile while being traversed, the width is always measured when both sensors are positioned in the upper belt on one edge. This system architecture is suitable for monitoring and process optimization of slitting...
