IMI Sensors - Steel Rolling & Annealing

Product catalog summary
Overview: IMI Sensors, a division of PCB Piezotronics, specializes in providing sensors designed to withstand the harsh environments of steel mills, particularly in steel rolling and annealing processes. These sensors are crucial for predictive maintenance and ensuring operational efficiency in steel mills.
Predictive Maintenance in Steel Mills: Steel mills feature a variety of machinery such as fans, pumps, compressors, and unique equipment like large belt conveyors and EOT cranes. The harsh conditions and operational demands necessitate specialized sensors for effective monitoring. IMI Sensors offers a range of transducers and accessories tailored to these needs.
Sensor Selection: IMI Sensors provides various models suited for different applications within steel mills:
  • Precision ICP® Accelerometer (Model 626B01): Features low noise floor and low frequency response, ideal for precision monitoring.
  • Low Cost ICP® Accelerometer (Model 608A11 series): Suitable for submersible applications with small installation footprint.
  • 4-20 mA Output Sensor (Model 640B01): Available in explosion-proof versions, suitable for peak or RMS acceleration or velocity measurements.
  • Bearing Fault Detector (Model 682B05): Provides early warning of bearing and gear faults, compatible with various control systems.
Hot and Cold Rolling Mills: These mills face challenges such as variable loads, speeds, and environmental factors like high temperatures and steam. IMI Sensors offers high-temperature accelerometers and kits designed to operate under these conditions.
Annealing and Coated Products: Operations in these areas run at low speeds with critical quality requirements. IMI Sensors provides precision accelerometers and universal transmitters to address these needs.
Certifications and Contact Information: IMI Sensors is AS9100 and ISO 9001 certified, with headquarters in Depew, NY. They offer a 24-hour SensorLine for customer support.

IMI Sensors - Steel Rolling & Annealing-2

Predictive Maintenance Steel Rolling & Annealing Steel Mills not only have typical fans, pumps, compressors, gearboxes and cooling towers but also have machines and processes unique to the steel industry. The machine sizes, machine designs, operating speeds, cycle times, batch operations and harsh mill environments often command the use of carefully selected sensors and methods for effective equipment monitoring. Iron making and steel making areas often have an abundance of large belt conveyors, critical ultra-low speed machines with limited rotation, critical large EOT cranes and large volume...

IMI Sensors - Steel Rolling & Annealing-3

Hot Rolling Machines - Predictive Maintenance Hot Rolling Mills have large low speed gearboxes, pinion stands, drive shafts and large diameter rolls in bearings to reduce the thickness of red hot steel slabs. Running these at variable loads/speeds and cycle times which may last only 30 seconds during speed variations of >500% presents challenges. Environmental factors here include reheat furnace temperatures, steam and scale from cooling water sprays and of course coiling red hot steel traveling at thousands of feet per minute. High Temperature ■ Includes accelerometer, cable ■ Sensor temperature...

IMI Sensors - Steel Rolling & Annealing-4

Predictive Maintenance Steel Rolling Annealing and Coated Products Predictive Maintenance Annealing and coated product operations often run at quite low speeds and also have product quality critical requirements. Temperatures from annealing furnaces and molten zinc and aluminizing baths add many temperature, personnel safety and monitoring concerns as well. Low Cost ICP® Accelerometer ■ General purpose, hermetically sealed ■ I Mi's most popular accelerometer Low Cost ICP® Accelerometer ■ Ideal for submersible applications ■ Smallest true industrial Armored integral cable options available Precision...
