The SIROLLCIS Width Gauge for continual, reliable and effective width measurement of hot steel.
The key ability of the Siemens VAI SIROLLCIS Width Gauge system provides the continual
accurate and reliable detection of the material edges.
The gauge is now much more than a hot width gauge and can be configured to provide a range of material
measurement functions based on a common platform. The system can measure width, centreline deviation,
camber, manifest shape, thermal profile and bar-end shape for crop shear optimisation.
The advanced tools and high specification of the gauge provide a number of benefits over conventional
technologies. Siemens VAI are world leaders in non-contact gauging systems.
Benefits:
- High accuracy, linearity and reliability
- Low maintenance, availability > 99.85%
- Long life expectancy, typically > 15 years
- Upgradeable to include
:
- Thermoprofile (radiant systems only)
- Camber measurement
- Manifest shape measurement
- Crop position optimisation
- No moving or wearable parts
- Comprehensive interfacing
- Can be customised
Options:
- Gauge is factory calibrated for life
- Advanced edge detection techniques
- Fully compatible with existing equipment
- Common upgradeable platform
- Includes data logger
Selected reference list:
Nearly 250 gauges installed worldwide.
The stereoscopic arrangement is designed to overcome the inherent problems of hot strip and plate width measurement, such as
passline and thickness variations or tilt, lift and bounce of the material, and has a very high immunity to heat stress.
The system utilises a stereoscopic camera housed in a water
cooled and air purged enclosure mounted vertically above the strip or plate looking down across the roll table. Two modes of operation
are available; either radiant mode using infra-red radiation for steel edge temperatures > 600ºC or backlight mode for steel edge
temperatures < 600ºC. The Hot Width Gauge can be
upgraded to integrate additional measurement functions.
The SIROLLCIS Width Gauge is solidly based on 20 years field experience with over 200 systems. Measurement is based on sensitive,
high-resolution, linescan CCD technology. The gauging system may be installed in all locations throughout the Hot Strip Mill from
Furnace exit to Down Coiler. A ‘compact’ version is available for cold rolling and process line applications. We service the
mill equipment builders by designing and supplying equipment to convert their steel strip processes to polypropylene equipment.
Siemens VAI has world wide commissioning, installation and on-site repair service for polypropylene equipment.
