HOW IT WORKS

X-ray transmission, end to end

01

Non-contact X-ray source

Constant-potential 100 kV X-ray transmission through the strip, stable across mill temperature swings.

02

Solid-state detection

Ionization chamber detector with temperature compensation.

03

Real-time signal processing

Algorithms correct for alloy, pass line and strip temperature before the reading reaches the control system.

04

PLC integration

Thickness published to Allen-Bradley ControlLogix or Siemens S7-1500 for AGC loop closure.

Thickness range, accuracy and repeatability are quoted per application rather than published. They move with the material, the line dimensions and the mill conditions: the same body holds very different figures on carbon steel and on aluminium, and line speed moves them again. A single catalogue number would be wrong for most of the mills that read it. Tell us the alloy, the gauge range you run and the line speed, and the figures come back with the proposal.

CONTROL PLATFORM

The cabinet, before it ships

Operator station and HMI on the cabinet door, crated for shipment.
Inside the same cabinet: PLC, I/O and terminal rail, built and wired in Dayton.

This is the half of the system that decides whether it is a Perfecta or an Accura. The measurement head is the same; the cabinet is where the two lines part company. Yours is built to the platform named in the table above, and it is wired and tested here before it ships.
