Mô tả sản phẩm: Land-Aluminum Strip Thermometer system AST
Overview:
Aluminium Strip Thermometer - AST
The Land Aluminium Strip Thermometer system is specifically designed to provide the aluminium hot rolling industry with a solution to one of its most difficult problems - accurate and reproducible temperature measurement of bright, semi-finished hot alloy strips.
AST is capable of providing more accurate temperature measurement than any other thermometer available.
Key Features
- Automatically copes with varying alloy types and emissivities.
- Accurate optimisation using dedicated set-up unit.
- Computer software to automate system optimisation.
- Highly reliable, drift-free measurement.
- The LMG AR Processor provides digital indication of temperature as well as 0 or 4 to 20mA analog outputs for connection to data recording or mill control equipment. An optional Maths Function Card permits mathematical comparisons to be made between thermometer inputs. Results may be used to drive outputs to the plant control system.
- Supports RS232C and RS485 serial communications.
Key Benefits
- Reduced re-annealing costs.
- Reduced finishing costs.
- AST can infer potential problems on preceding Breakdown Mill operations, ie reduction in coolant.
- Improved process control.
- Accurate reliable temperature measurement to within +10 °C/18 °F after optimisation.
- Improved accuracy over both single and dual wavelength thermometers.
AST has been specifically developed to provide the aluminium hot rolling industry with a solution to one of its most difficult problems - the accurate and reproducible measurement of temperature on bright, semi-finished, hot alloy strips.
It is capable of providing more accurate measurement of temperature than either a single or dual ratio wavelengththermometer.The AST is highly effective in the measurement of temperature at both entry and exit of the Finishing Mill, the 'Breakdown Mill' (Reversing Rougher) and at the Downcoiler.
The AST can be used to reduce re-annealing and finishing costs and improve process control. The AST is used with the application dedicated LMG AR processor.
Applications The AST is highly effective in the following mill locations:
- Measurement at both entry and exit of the Finishing Mill.
- Measurement at the Breakdown Mill (Reversing Rougher).
- Measurement at the Downcoiler.
Optimisation As a result of experience gained from many site trials and installations, it has been found that slight variations are required in the temperature calculation coefficient values, in order to maximise the system accuracy at each measurement point. A unique feature of the AST thermometer is the ability to optimise each unit individually. This may then improve the measurement accuracy at each location. Optimisation requires a small number of temperature comparisons to be made on a representative sample of product types, against the AST set-up unit. Optimisation is performed using APCOS (Application Processor Configuration and Optimisation Software), provided as standard with the LMG AR processor. APCOS processes data and submits a relevant solution for the temperature calculation.
