Down coiler: Strip detection after laminar cooling
Smart Radar Sensor for width measurement Hot Rolling Mills
Task
Stable performance was required while strip detection after laminar cooling, in harsh environment conditions
Challenges
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.
- 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.
