Dimensional checks with LASER sensors

Laser triangulation sensors are an effective and precise tool for measuring and evaluating high-temperature metal products, such as billets and blooms. These sensors use a laser beam that is focused on the surface of the product to measure its dimensions. These include width, thickness, straightness and length. The laser beam reflects off the surface of the product and is transmitted back to the sensor, allowing it to provide an accurate reading of the measurement. This dimensional inspection method is widely used in steel rolling plants, where extremely high temperatures can pose a challenge to more conventional measurement methods…
