Redundant Position Sensor Coil Bending Roll for increased uptime
Smart Radar Sensor for width measurement Hot Rolling Mills
challenges
Linear sensor failure stops the rolling process;replacement causes hours of downtime. A parallelsensor ensures reliable angle feedback inhigh‑vibration areas.
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.
- Selected angle transmitter filled with oil to dampen the effect vibrations and shocks.
- Easy to mount inside a local junction box, which is installed on the coil bending roll frame
- Conduit protection system to protect the cable from scales or high ambient radiant heat.
