Presentation exhibits a proven method to accurately and consistently capture length and speed measurements in steel mills and continuous casters applications
Beta LaserMike, a leading global provider of precision measurement and control solutions, will be delivering a technical presentation to ferrous and non-ferrous metal producers on the latest breakthroughs in non-contact laser measurement technology at Laminacao 2011 technical conference in Santos, Brazil on October 24 through 17. The conference is located at the Hotel Mendes Plaza.
The technical paper entitled "Overcoming Mechanical Issues to Getting Accurate, Stable Length and Speed Measurements in Mills and Billet Caster Applications" will be presented by Les Jensen, product manager at Beta LaserMike.
Mr. Jensen summarizes the recent advances as follows: “Accurately measuring the length and speed on continuous slab, billet, and bloom casters has been very difficult due to a number of mechanical system challenges, such as heat, scale-build up, and the deterioration of mechanical parts. The new generation of cost-efficient, higher accuracy gauges, such as Beta LaserMike’s LaserSpeed gauge, is utilized in many continuous caster manufacturing applications today. This advanced measurement technology has the ability to measure these dimensions at very slow speeds with +/-0.05% accuracy without contacting the slab or billet.”
