Gauges for the Metalworking Industry

Nordson's advanced online measurement and control systems are designed to provide detailed insights into various steel manufacturing processes. The BETA LaserMike Product brand is well-known in the steel industry for the LaserSpeed Pro gauge. This state-of-the-art laser sensor enables steel-making companies to continuously control the length in slab casting and make cuts with a precision of ±0.03% or better. Additionally, LaserSpeed Pro allows for the control of the length and speed of hot billets and other cold-rolled products, monitors mold oscillation, and provides the measurements needed for proper material tension and shape control.

Furthermore, our expertise extends to measuring coating weight and coating thickness on steel products in real time, ensuring compliance with strict product specifications. Whether it's continuous casters, rolling mills, or strip processing lines, our comprehensive range of solutions caters to diverse needs within the steel industry. Discover the possibilities below.

Nordson offers advanced online measurement and control systems designed to support a wide range of aluminum manufacturing processes. For instance, our LaserSpeed Pro length and speed gauge assists manufacturers in measuring the continuous length of aluminum strips, making shear cuts more accurate with ±0.03% precision. Other applications include cut control on slitter lines, elongation control at the entry and exit sides of a cold-rolling station in foil mills, and Mass Flow Automatic Gauge Control (MFAGC) in cold-rolling mills to increase the amount of coil on the gauge while significantly reducing gauge control inaccuracies.

Furthermore, we provide state-of-the-art solutions to measure coating weight and coating thickness on-line, ensuring that your products consistently meet stringent specifications. Thanks to our precision, non-contact sensor technology, aluminum manufacturers can effectively capture crucial measurement data, product specifications, and process variables at key stages of production. Nordson's user-friendly systems are specifically designed to minimize operational challenges for your staff.
