2-axes diameter gauge, measurement range 90mm
With ATON Wire 90, MetGauge provides a cost-efficient stationary optical measuring system for continuously testing the dimensional accuracy of coldly formed, thermally treated or hot rolled products up to Ø 80 mm (3.14 inch). With 2 axes, diameter and roundness measurements are performed online, displayed and with alarms created, if the product goes out of tolerance. Product measurements from earlier productions can be accessed through an integrated data base for a seamless documentation of product quality.
ATON Wire 90 can be applied to material temperatures of up to 1200 °C (2200 °F) and ambient temperatures of up to 50 °C (122 °F). This is achieved with an integrated cooling system that keeps the sensors cool, while very hot material is moving close to them. Due to the reasonable cost of ATON Wire gauges, it makes sense to also install them behind stands upstream. Thanks to this early quality control, steel mills can find root causes for defects and implement suitable corrective measures much earlier, reducing their reject rate and associated cost.
