The heating element length measurement unit is an advanced solution designed to precisely measure the length of electric heating elements as they leave the rolling mill. It delivers real-time feedback, allowing operators to quickly verify whether each element meets the required length specifications.
This unit can be seamlessly integrated into any type of rolling mill. Installed at the exit point, it can also be linked with our automatic unloading system, helping to simplify the diameter reduction process and greatly improve overall operational efficiency.
The tangible benefits that make a difference
The wheel encoder ensures accurate measurement of electric heating element lengths as they exit the rolling mill.
The system compares the measured length with a predefined range (minimum and maximum) and immediately signal conformity (“OK” green light) or non-conformity (“KO” red light).
The identification of non-conforming heating elements minimizes the creation of defective parts and material waste.
The PLC touch-screen offers an intuitive interface for easily setting and modifying the desired length range parameters.
Versatile and easily adoptable solution for existing production lines.
The potential connection with automatic unloading device accelerates the entire workflow.
The process begins with a wheel encoder that accurately measures the tube’s length as it moves through the unit, with the data displayed in real time on the control panel.
The system is equipped with an intuitive PLC touch-screen interface, enabling operators to easily set the minimum and maximum length parameters within which the electric heating elements must fall.
This allows users to monitor the exact measurement of each element and immediately determine whether it is within, above, or below the defined range directly on the screen.
Additionally, the system includes a real-time indicator light system: a green “OK” light instantly confirms elements that meet the specified length requirements, while a red “KO” light immediately flags those that fall outside the acceptable range.
