EMG IMH/IMM/IMU
Function principle
In continuous strip furnaces with horizontal or vertical strip travel and furnace temperatures up to 1,100 °C, the inductive sensor for strip center measurement monitors the strip center position with a measurement accuracy of ±5 mm. Two temperature-resistant, tubular metal traverses with special heat-resistant coil sets run above and below the strip across the furnace. The electrical connections to the remote evaluation electronics are led out gas tight.
Therefore the system is maintenance-free, self-monitoring and contains no wearing parts. For simple installation and commissioning, all that is required is to provide a cutout in each furnace wall and to fit two double flanges in a gas-tight manner.
Customer benefits
- Simple project planning, even for conversions and renovations
- High accuracy up to +/- 5 mm in the high-temperature range
- No influence from the furnace atmosphere
- Reduction of strip breaks in the furnace
- Simple installation and commissioning
- No wearing parts, long service life
The IMx sensor family delivers maximum precision with minimal maintenance, even at temperatures that push steel to its limits.
