Non-contact profile measurement of long products using Siroil Orbis+: New version of the Siemens measurement system is virtually maintenance-free

摘要

Siroli Orbis+ enables Siemens VAI Metals Technologies to add a virtually maintenance-free solution to its product series for the profile measurement of long products. Just like its predecessor, Orbis, the new gauge works according to the shadow principle and measures the profile of round and a large number of non-round long products during the rolling process. The optical unit is fitted on a rotating disk and encompasses an LED-based light source and linescan cameras. Dimensions and profiles of long products can be determined quickly and precisely regardless of their orientation or vibration level. The further improvement in the transmission of current to the rotating optical unit and the use of LEDs as the light source minimizes maintenance and ensures high availability.
