The contact free measurement system imess S4 measures length, width and rectangularity of sheets during running production. Four cameras record the four edge points of the material and transfer the data to the software at a line speed of up to 350 meters per minute. The deviations from nominal values may lead to reactions by…
Circular Knives are used in steel service centres to cut the coil to strips. Long usage and force lead to abrasion and blunt knife edges. Moreover, cracks at the knife’s edge may damage the material and lead to a high amount of waste. Therefore, the early detection of defects of circular knives is highest priority.…
The solutions of the imess S-TM series provide operator independent thickness measurement which can be integrated into the production line – even additionally into existent lines. The laser-based thickness measurement offers various advantages: Compared to x-ray measurement, no radiation protection officer is needed. Compared to tactile measurements, the highly sensitive material is not damaged.…
The latest development imess S30 detects the coil set of metal digitally and operator independent. The coil set phenomenon is typically occurring during decoiling processes due to the tension of the material itself. If the coil set is undetected, severe problems occur during the stamping. Regular inspection is thus required. The sheet sample is manually…
Cutting or stamping metal leads to burrs at the material. The burr may cause a bad final product. Therefore, the aim has to be the prevention of these burrs as early in the process as possible. Its development has to be detected as well as its height. The capable measurement system imess S28 is equipped…
We have been to the Blechexpo again this year like three times before to present our solutions for the metal-working industry. The numerous national and international guests saw our following systems themselves: Round Knife Analysis S25 Strip Width SW Burr Measurement S28 Camber Measurement SMP During the four days of the trade fair, informative and…
2019 is a strong year for imess strip width measurement. Since January, five systems have been ordered and some have already been installed. The measuring widths of the systems are 1500, 1600 and 2100 mm. Strip width and number are irrelevant for the high-precision measurement. The systems achieve an accuracy of ± 0.01 mm so…
The guests of the latest technical seminar of the International Wrought Copper Council (IWCC) 2019 in Shanghai was Mister Patrick Telders for the first time, general manager of imess. He accepted the invitation to present his „Operator independent analysis of circular knives“ which is our system to analyse circular knives optically for abrasion and cracks.…
Optical measurement tables test single samples in only a few steps fast, reliable and operator independent. The imess developments are tailor made for each task and the respective material. They automatize the measurement of samples and make them economically efficient. The measurement results are objective, repeatable and accurate. The product portfolio allows the measurement of…
The unwound coil is cut into strips in steel service centers to process them further. The systems of the product range SW check the width of these strips. The abbreviation in this case SW stands for strip width. The imess strip width measurement is highly accurate and a capable measurement accuracy system. Thus, the accuracy…
