C-frame with integrated speed measurement for combined speed and thickness measurement in rolling mills.
Aiming to improve thickness tolerances of rolled strips, modern rolling mills are controlled according to the mass flow principle. Polytec optical sensors ProSpeed LSV are laser-based sensors for the non-contact measurement of the velocity component required to optimize the mass flow control in production lines.
With working distances from 300mm to 1,500 (3,000)mm and a wide speed range from 0.5 to +7,700 (±14,600) m/min in 1,024/s data output rate, the ProSpeed LSV-1100 monitors the strip thickness during rolling, elongation and mass flow control, on long material, strip steel or flat steel, to enable high-precision inline process speed and strip thickness in the rolling process. Can be configured with a wide range of accessories for thermal and mechanical protection and with all common interfaces:
■ RS-422
■ Multi-user Ethernet (10/100 Mbit/s)
■ Web interface
Encoder (scalable, max. 3.5 MHz)
■ 24 V status I/O
Profibus-DP
■ Profinet-IO
Ethernet / IP
■ Analog (voltage/current)
■ Wireless Ethernet
