2-axes Diameter gauge 50 mm measurement range
ATON Wire is a stationary dimensional measurement system for continuous monitoring of rolling and drawing mill production. To meet challenging return-of-investment requirements NEXTSENSE offers high accuracy at a reasonable price.
The ATON Wire gauges measure diameter and ovality of round profiles with a two-axes shadow sensor, a 60 mm (2.3 inch) measurement range and an accuracy of 5 µm. Depending on the material temperature and environment conditions you can choose between three product versions. The measurement system offers an online display of the results. In the top line the Batch ID and the billet or coil counter of this batch is shown. In the next line the current value of the two axes and the calculated ovality value is shown numerically in big digits. Under each of these numbers several statistical values based on the current coil are shown: Maximum, Average, Minimum, Standard Deviation, Cp and CpK.
