Down Coiler: Strip Detection After Laminar Cooling
Light Barrier
Challenges
Stable performance was required while strip detection after laminar cooling, in harsh environment conditions
- Due to low temperature of the strip at the laminar table, the response from a standard scanning type HMD was unstable. Moreover the environment conditions were challenging:-
- High ambient temperature and fumes under the strip.
- Presence of scales and dust generating from them, led to degraded performance of light barrier.
- Continuous water falling on the conveyor table
Solution
- Proxitron light barrier was installed at the down coiler.
- It provided higher functional reserve up to 750 m.
- Higher the functional reserve, better is the stability of performance against pollutions such as water, steam, fumes.
Customer Benefit
- Resistant to contamination due to steam, dust, fumes.
- Stable and uninterrupted performance
- Accurate and reliable
