Hot Rolling Mill (Slab or Bar)
 Temperature Applications - Reheat Furnace - Furnace Door Detector - Roller Temperature - Slab/Strip- Top and Bottom - Coiling Station In the hot mill area, dual-wavelength sensors are used to measure slab, plate, bar, rod, wire, and strip temperatures where temperature uniformity is critical for the proper formation of steel (this includes the quenching and coiling station). During the rolling process, hotter areas tend to deform more than cooler areas, so temperature uniformity affects shape and mechanical properties. Top and bottom temperature control can also eliminate waves and cobbles in the rolled product. Side-to-side and bulk strip temperatures are measured using the TempMatic 8000 Series, while the FiberView 9100 ArmorGuard System is used for underside measurements. With the high-performance dual-wavelength design, these sensors automatically compensate for dirty optics, water spray, and changes in strip emissivity. These capabilities eliminate the need to frequently clean sensor optics, and in the case of rod stock, they can effectively view a partially filled field of view. Other Resources to Download: |
