Position tolerance of the weld for process optimization
The bearing tolerances of two welded plates, coils or belts are inspected in-line by the WSS8210. Therefore, it is ensured that the semi-products produced are only subject to be further processed if its tolerance corresponds as well as that welded objects can be adjusted in its position before bending in order that the tolerance can be guaranteed. Having the knowledge of the thermal deformations built and the shape of the welding seam, vital information regarding the welding parameters can be deduced. Therefore, the complete welding process can be controlled.
Benefits:
-
Optimization of the automatic welding process
-
Reduction of the downstream machining process
-
Avoids cost-intensive rejection
-
Precise documentation of production process without any interruption

Non-contact measurement of thickness and width of coils (thickness 0.5 to 20mm)
Hot and cold strip are processed by steel service centers that use a variety of different methods. In slitting lines, for example, extremely wide coils weighing up to 40t are split into several narrow rings.

MWS 8203.LLT
The operating principle of the dimensionCONTROL MWS 8203.LLT system is based on laser line triangulation scanners (i.e. profile sensor technology) that provide extremely high lateral resolution and therefore the required precision can be achieved. The highly dynamic positioning of two profile sensors at the edges of the strip to be measured enables high precision width measurements. These sensors measure the width synchronously using the distance measurement between both sensor positions. In the case of large widths, thermal expansion plays an important role and is compensated for by using an innovative concept that prevents the precision of the measuring systems being influenced by the width of the material to be measured. The 2D profile sensor not only recognizes the strip edge, but also knows the height information, enabling the sensor to account for possible tilting of the metal strip.
Characteristics:
-
Accuracy ±20µm
-
Working in combination with the thicknessCONTROL MTS 8201.LLT thickness measurement system, the upper thickness sensor can also be applied as a width sensor.
