IMS Measuring Systems for Metal Service Centres

IMS Messsysteme as the world market leader for non-contact measuring systems also offers Metal Service Centres an extensive product portfolio for various measuring tasks. Standard systems for: Centreline thickness measurement, flatness / levelness measurement, pinhole detection, sheet / plate geometry measurement, slit strip width measurement, width, hole, edge crack detection, as well as surface inspection cover the most common measuring tasks. The focus here lies on optical measuring systems, namely our patented Camera Cluster Systems (CCS) specially developed for use in Metal Service Centres. Radiometric and laser thickness gauges round off the product range. But that is not all! As a strong partner, IMS also offers development of custom solutions. Please contact us if you are interested! All systems measure inline over the entire length of the coil and from the first to the last sheet. The IMS quality data management system MEVInet-Q stores all measurement data as well as production and order data continuously, thereby enabling exact tracking and verification at any time. For 100% quality assurance, your end customers can receive automatically generated quality reports for every product delivered on request.

Precision out of

Precision out of passion, quality out of conviction and innovation out of tradition Measuring methods / tasks at a glance X-ray, isotope and optical measuring systems from the world’s leading manufacturer IMS Messsysteme GmbH have guaranteed premium product quality in the production and processing of steel, aluminium and nonferrous metals since 1980. The impressive portfolio of high-precision, perfectly matched and customisable measuring systems is unique in its scope worldwide and contributes significantly to optimising processes, increasing output, reducing scrap rates and thus to economical, profitable and environmentally friendly production. Today, more than 4,500 non-contact measuring systems from IMS Messsysteme GmbH have become an integral part of production plants worldwide, for example in: • hot rolling mills • cold rolling mills • process lines • heavy plate mills • long product mills • tube rolling mills • metal service centres More than 750 satisfied customers benefit from high-tech inspection systems that can – even under the most adverse environmental conditions – perform tasks such as measurement and detection of: • slab dimension • thickness • width • holes • pinholes • edge cracks • phase content • internal inclusions • coating weight • sheet geometry • flatness • evenness • surface inspection • strip tension • coil winding qualitiy precisely, visualise the results clearly and, last but not least, impress with their long service life.
