Abrasion-free, non-contact measurement of rough, hot surfaces
Steel ropes and hot wire are in long lengths and at high speeds correctly cut to length. In both cases, contact measurement devices are very susceptible to wear. With sufficient material guidance, μSPEED systems reliably and permanently measure all materials and speeds.
Typical application data:
- Material speed: Steel cable up to 150m / min, wire up to 6,000 m / min
- Measurement accuracy with tactile measuring equipment or via drive: typically 1 – 5%
- Measurement accuracy with non-contact length measurement μSPEED: typically: 0.05%
- Amortization: 2 months, direct encoder replacement, sufficient material guidance necessary
Material examples:
- hot wire, wire rod, drawing wire, …
- steel rope, steel cable, transport rope, crane rope, …
Machines equipped with non-contact length measurement:
- wire rolling machines, wire drawing machines, hot forming machines for wire
- Roll Cutting Machine, roll cutter, Shear Line, Cutting Line
- Winding machines, rewinders
