Fixed Installed Robotic for Gunning and Fettling
Laser Contouring System (LCS) for High Temperature Laser Refractory Thickness Measurement
The LCS uses a suite of sensors capable of measuring the remaining lining thickness in vessels used to produce and refine molten metal. Whether you are making steel, copper or aluminum, we have a mobile or fixed position system that can provide the critical lining thickness information you need to maximize vessel up-time and minimize operational cost.
All systems provide the following measurement information in simple, easy to read formats:
- Refractory thickness in 2-D or 3-D format
- Tabular output with auto-transfer to plant Level II system
- Refractory wear rate and lifetime prediction capability
- Optional surface temperature measurement using integrated two-color pyrometer
- Small (3.6mm) beam diameter
- High accuracy (±1.8mm 1σ) scanning
- Fast – 120,000 Hz scan rate
- New crack detection algorithm measures width and depth of refractory cracks
- Bath Level measurement
