Exact length measurement of steel sheet in scissors / refinement lines
The length measurement of a steel sheet with oiled surface, over embraced rollers is possible only with limited accuracy. Refinement systems and shears (longitudinal and cross sections) are therefore better equipped with non-contact μSPEED systems. μSPEED systems can cope with faint as well as high-gloss surfaces.
Typical application data:
- Path Velocity: typically up to 1,500 m / min
- Measurement accuracy with tactile measuring equipment or via drive: typically 0.5 – 3%
- Measurement accuracy with non-contact length measurement μSPEED: typical: 0.03%
- Amortization: 1 month, direct encoder replacement, no other modifications needed
Material examples:
- Steel sheet, tinplate, packaging steel, sheet metal
- Stainless steel sheet, galvanized sheet metal, rolled sheet
Machines equipped with non-contact length measurement:
- Rolling plants, rolling mills, rolling trains, rolling stands
- Refinement plants, scissors, cross cutter, lengthwise cutter
- reel, looper, winding machines, rewinder
- Monitoring the roller table drive
