Laser Metal Deposition
Smart Radar Sensor for width measurement Hot Rolling Mills
Challenge
- During Laser Metal Deposition the heat distribution behind the beam is an indication of a good or bad welding quality.
- The sensor for temperature measurement must withstand the high energy density of the laser or its reflections.
Solution
- The thermal imager looks directly and parallelly through the laser beam to the optics to see the impact zone of the laser
- Temperature of each single laser pulse can also be measured
- Easier installation
- See complete heat distribution compared to looking only at impact zone
