Temperature-Sensitive Slab Width Measurement: The Role of IR Cameras in Accurate Data Collection
Smart Radar Sensor for width measurement Hot Rolling Mills
Problem Statement
Determining the slab width accurately while accounting for temperature variations.
Solution
The high accuracy distance sensor with radar system-
- Contactless, inline measurement of slabs, strips, and plates (up to 1600 °C).
- Accuracy up to ±300 µm even in harsh environments
- Independent of alloy or metal type.
- Eliminates radiation hazards and reduces cost.
- Combined software and IR camera data to provide temperature-compensated width measurements.
- Both width and temperature can be measured simultaneously
