IMS Measuring Systems for Tube Mills

In order to ensure economical and future-oriented production of seamless tubes, it is necessary to know the properties of product after every single one of the typically three forming stages. The ever stricter demands being placed on the finished product „tube“ regarding uniformity and compliance with tighter tolerance limits with simultaneous savings in energy and raw materials necessitate a high degree of process reliability, which can only be achieved with precise, operationally reliable and durable measuring equipment. To verify the quality of the product, also to the users of the tubes, all product parameters measured are archived, monitored and analyzed. In this way it is possible to make information available on every single tube produced, both directly during the production process and months after delivery too.

MEASURING SYSTEMS FOR

MEASURING SYSTEMS FOR THE STEEL, METAL AND ALUMINIUM INDUSTRIES Precision out of passion, quality out of conviction and innovation out of tradition X-ray measuring systems, isotope measuring systems and optical measuring systems from the world’s leading manufacturer IMS have been a guarantee for highest product quality in the production and processing of steel, aluminium and non-ferrous metals since 1980. Our non-contact measuring and detection systems are used in the steel, metal and aluminium industries wherever meticulous material testing is required to guarantee the highest standards of quality – worldwide under the toughest operating conditions. Both in hot production, such as continuous casting plants, hot rolling mills and tube mills, where shimmering surfaces, heat, dirt and moisture are common, as well as in cold rolling mills and service centres, measuring systems from IMS measure and detect reliably and with highest precision. Exactly reproducible measurements and evaluations in real time optimise your production lines and increase product quality while simultaneously reducing production costs and reject rates.
