Get Results Using <strong>MTS</strong> <strong>Sensors</strong> ...Robustness and Accuracy for Steel <strong>Mills</strong><strong>Rolling</strong> mills requiretight tolerances andconsistency to meetinternational standardsfor steel products. Theroll stands in theseplants must endureharsh environmentswithout loss of productivity,while maintainingthe accurate positioningof hydraulic rollersfor Automatic GaugeControl (AGC).<strong>MTS</strong> <strong>Sensors</strong> addresses these needs by offering accurateand robust linear position sensors for this environment.R-Series and G-Series rod-style sensors for hydrauliccylinders provide absolute, linear position feedback with1 micron resolution and are built to last, surviving impactshocks of 100 g.The Challenge ...Cost Effective, Accurate,Reliable Position Feedback forHarsh Environment ApplicationsThe harsh environment of steel mills demands tough sensorswith reliable and accurate measurement. Replacingsensors costs time and money, and loss of accurateposition feedback puts product quality in jeopardy whenroller gap control is not maintained. The speed and accuracyof the position measurement is critical for rollergap control with hydraulic cylinders. Finishing stands(shown in the example below), especially require thehighest accuracy levels to achieve uniform thickness accordingto specifications. The update rate of the sensorsmust also keep up with modern control systems.<strong>MTS</strong>’ <strong>Sensors</strong> Meet TheChallenge<strong>MTS</strong> offers a wide range of solutions to address thechallenges of the steel mill. The R-Series and G-Seriessensor models provide absolute, linear position feedbackwith the performance and robustness critical to productiverolling mills. These sensors provide 1 micron ofresolution and better than 2.5 microns of repeatabilitywhile providing measurement cycles as fast as 0.1 millisecondsfor fast, dynamic response.Recent improvements in the patented Temposonicstechnology enable accuracy with over three timessmaller linearity deviations than previously possible.The Linearity Correction Option (LCO) reduces thelinearity deviations to < ± 20 microns for accurate rollerpositioning.Proven Position <strong>Sensors</strong>for Steel <strong>Industry</strong>Machinery<strong>MTS</strong> <strong>Sensors</strong> with Temposonics technology offer anumber of benefits that make them the ideal sensorchoice for the harsh, demanding applications in modernsteel mills. <strong>MTS</strong> position sensors are available in manydifferent interfaces including Analog (current or voltage),Synchronous Serial Interface (SSI), Profibus, CANbus,EtherCAT, POWERLINK, and DeviceNet.The standard sensors have an ingress protection ratingof IP 68 with integral cable. To provide additionalprotection in harsh environments, a stainless steel IP 69Khousing is available that can withstand high-temperature,high-pressure washdown as needed.Temposonics linear position sensors are easy to installand monitor. They offer diagnostic LEDs for rapidtroubleshooting as well as remote programming to makeadjustments in the field.Roughing standFinishing standFeedbackPosition sensorFinal inspectionstrip thicknessCoiler
