| • | Measuring accuracy of ± 0.07 mm |
Simetal Opal from Siemens Metals Technologies provides operators of continuous casting plants with an integrated laser measurement system for exact alignment of strand guide rollers. The system achieves high measuring accuracy of ± 0.07 mm, even under the hostile ambient conditions prevailing in a steelworks. Simetal Opal registers the strand guide rollers’ current positions and, after quality control, saves the measured data in a log file. An intuitive user interface and automated measurement sequences make it easy to use locally and reduce measuring times. Saved measurements serve as the basis for condition-based maintenance of the strand guide system, which cuts maintenance costs. The system can be integrated into both new and existing plants.
