MetalsMaster

MetalsMaster offers:

• Simplified system architecture for faster installation

• Small cabinet footprint

• High-speed Intelligent Signal Processor providing remote diagnostics and protection against obsolescence

• Analog signal to mill controller updated up to 1 kHz for high speed control

• Alloy insensitive sensor for foil mills

The MetalsMaster 10 kV X-ray sensor is a unique alloy-insensitive gauge for foil with an extended range for intermediate passes. The 30 kV sensor offers low noise and high speed measurement and is used for exit thickness as low as 50 microns and has a maximum range of 10 mm. Both the sensors’ fast, low-noise sensor response provides precise high-speed feedback, feed-forward and mass flow control. Together with their stable power supplies and robust X-ray tubes, they provide high accuracy and repeatable measurements with spike free outputs.

MetalsMaster’s AGC and HGC utilize the measurement from its sensors to offer full control of the sheet thickness utilising a combination of speed, tension, load or gap whilst optimising mill speed. AFC not only controls shape via sprays, roll bending and roll tilt but also optimizes the mill using all the parameters from both AGC/HGC and AFC.

Fast, accurate and reliable measurement of the aluminum sheet has a critical impact on the productivity and process efficiency. MetalsMaster measurement system together with its AGC/HGC and AFC provides a cost-effective solution, and improves product quality, expands yields from each coil and reduces scrap, resulting in greater profitability.
