HOW IT WORKS

X-ray transmission, end to end

01

Non-contact X-ray source

Constant-potential 320 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.
