Iron & Steel
Despite the traditional image of a steel mill and the generic term “metal bashing”, the “science” of metal forming relies on precise control to deliver products which are “right” each and every time.
As you can imagine controlling very hot & heavy objects travelling at high speed is fraught with difficulties, yet to achieve optimal quality and productivity it is a necessity.
Sentek Solutions Ltd provide a range of non contact devices which put you in control of your process.
Hot Metal Detection
Our InGaAs detectors will remotely & accurately measure the temperature of the metal work piece.
Precise temperature control ensures that forming processes are optimised; delivering the correct phase composition, grain structure and dislocation density.
Distance Measurement
Precise measurement of distance and speed is critical within this sector.
Products are produced to the required dimensions, processes are optimised and health and safety issues minimised.
Safety
Metal forming involves moving heavy and oftentimes hot objects at high speed.
Understandably there are significant safety implications.
Use of electronic anti collision devices effectively eliminates human error where industrial cranes, AGV’s or OHT’s are used.
