Dayton, OH – January 4 2018 – NDC Technologies, a leading global provider of precision measurement and control solutions, reports that its Beta LaserMike LaserSpeed® gauge is helping leading aluminium and steel makers worldwide to accurately and reliably measure the length and speed of its products. The benefits to producers include improved product quality, increased productivity and manufacturing savings.
Precision speed and length measurements are critical for controlling production costs and improving process control in the aluminum and steel industries. Traditional contact measurement systems, such as contact encoders and tachometers, have problems with slippage and mechanical wear. This creates unwanted scrap and costly maintenance, and reduces product quality.
The Beta LaserMike LaserSpeed non-contact gauge is an ideal replacement for contact measurement devices. It uses a unique, laser-based technique that does not contact the product to directly measure the length and speed of moving surfaces with better than ±0.03% accuracy – the highest in the industry -- and ±0.02% repeatability. LaserSpeed is permanently calibrated and has no moving parts to wear out, offering metals producers the lowest cost of ownership. LaserSpeed is also Measuring Instrument Directive (MID) Certified and meets the 2014/32/EU Standard for length measurement. This highly reliable gauge is proven in numerous mill applications including continuous slab, billet, and bloom casters; cutting control; elongation control in temper and skin pass mills; gauge control in hot and cold rolling mills; and other applications. In addition to the traditional measurement applications, LaserSpeed is the perfect solution for accurately measuring the length and speed of new metal materials at today’s most advanced mills that are producing the latest automotive-grade products. NDC offers a complete family of LaserSpeed gauges in a variety of protective enclosures to operate in harsh aluminum and steel production mill environments.To learn more, visit: www.betalasermike.com.
