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.

FORCE MEASURING SYSTEMS

FORCE MEASURING SYSTEMS FOR METAL SERVICE CENTRES FORCE MEASURING SYSTEMS FOR METAL SERVICE CENTRES Shapemeter Roll Material Data Typical thickness range: 0.006 – 10 mm, but not limited to max. speed: 2,000 m/min, but not limited to The shapemeter roll (BFI principle) consists of a solid roll body equipped with a project-specific number of piezoelectric sensors. The sensors are distributed over the entire roller body as required for the specific measurement task. The measured value of each sensor is amplified in the roll body, digitised and transferred from the rotating part (rotor) to the static part (stator) of the shapemeter roll via an optical and wear-free rotary transmitter. Width: Length: Measuring System Data up to 2,800 mm, but not limited to not limited / continuous inspection Gauge type: Force Measurement (Piezo-quartz sensors in single wire technology) max. Measurement density (number of measurement points per metre of strip): 96 standard version 192 special version Transmission: contactless rotary transformer with charge amplifier (24-channel standard version, 48-channel special version) Measurement Accuracy Measuring range per zone: 0.2 – 60,000 N max. mechanical load per zone without the need to recalibrate the roll: 72,000 N Measurement Task Dynamically measurable force change per zone: Accuracy of the measuring device (2σ): 0,2 N 1I-Unit oder 10 µm/m • strip flatness measurement (tensile stress distribution) • optional: - relative strip temperature profile measurement - drive system Special Features • solid roller body (seamless) • selectable roll diameter 200 – 500 mm • selectable measuring zone widths 15 – 60 mm • roller surface: - hardened & ground - hard chrome - tungsten carbide - rubber coating • low number of electronic and transmission units • piezo-quartz sensors in single wire technology with low risk of failure • maintenance-free and digital roller electronics with optical rotary transmitter 26 27
