Stereoscopic Width Gauge DigiScan XD4100 for Hot Rolling Mills

DELTA designes and manufactures Sensors & Systems for the harsh conditions of steel industry.

Within the extensive range of stereoscopic width measurement gauges, the new DigiScan XD4100 is specialy adapted for installation above the strip in hot strip/plate rolling mills.

The stereoscopic principle, that measures the position of the 2 edges in the space, allows high on-line accuracy despite material hop, tilt, lateral movement, and thickness variation of the strip.

 

New and innovative features are:

  • Extended communication possibilities: the connection to the automation system of the customer to transfer measurement and status is very flexible and can be done in different ways: integrated Modbus TCP or OPC UA protocols, optional industrial network Profibus-DP and Profinet protocol, possibility of customized protocol (over Ethernet TCP/IP or UDP) based on software plugin.
  • CropView option: before the shear, customers need to provide to their PLC the optimized head & tail cutting lines. This option delivers: a graph on the interface with crop data, the crop data on the communication network for the shear controller, recording of complete shape of head and tail.
  • Thermal Profile option: this can be very useful from production side to understand and correct issues in the rolling process.
  • Software plugin: thanks to this philosophy of plugin, various special request from customers can be satisfied, including customizations to replace old existing gauges.
  • Front Light or Back Light: when temperature of product is below 600°C, the self-emission of product is not enough to be seen by camera ; in such case, Delta propose, in addition of gauge, a back light or a front light.
  • Web interface + wifi: access to gauge for measurement data, configuration parameters, as well as for diagnostic assistance…, is done through a web browser. Connection is possible by Ethernet or Wifi.

User can access from any web browser, without dedicated software, by using a PC or a tablet.

  • Archiving measurement data: the new gauge interface integrates History (measurement data ) and Log functions (gauge status) that can be replayed or downloaded for analysis.
  • High accuracy: DigiScan XD4100 delivers measures on a 2m wide range with accuracy 35 mm.
  • Verification fixture : this tool, designed to let the user check accuracy of the gauge when he wants, is light, battery powered and easier to manipulate. It is delivered with a mechanical support to position the fixture on the rolls at pass line, well aligned with the gauge thanks to laser cross.
