Overview

The importance of thickness measurement in the flat rolled industry is fundamental to guarantee the quality and conformity of the finished products. During the production process of flat laminates, accurate thickness measurement allows the consistency and uniformity of the material to be assessed, ensuring compliance with the required specifications.

Thickness measurement is performed by us using several technologies, standalone or ntegrated to achieve the best performances. Furthermore, precise knowledge of the thickness of flat laminates allows subsequent processing operations to be carried out correctly, such as shaping or the application of coatings, to obtain high quality and high performance products. Our industrial solutions and services, suited to meet the needs of numerous industries with ready-to-use models specific for the application required.

Our solutions find their natural application as ideal input for automatic gauge control systems. With our solutions we contributed to produce better, faster and safer for over 30 years.

While remaining specialists in the field of systems for harsh environments and critical applications such as hot and cold rolling processes (Hot Strip Mill, Tandem and Temper) in which our systems control the process online to guarantee the output thickness, in parallel we deal with systems that measure the thickness on finishing lines such as annealing, electrolytic, skin pass, recoiler.

At the same time we have solutions for cutting and slitting lines in which in some case we use different and less demanding technologies to provide the suitable thickness output. Our solutions cover thickness ranges ranging from aluminium foil with 7 microns target up to over 150 mm of hot steel, combining multiple technologies where necessary and guaranteeing accuracy, precision, robustness, reduced maintenance and ease of intervention. We offer a complete range of solutions for a 360 degrees control for any gauging need.

Thickness control in metal rolling processes is a very important aspect for the quality of the final product obtained.
Even partially off-target production leads to a series of problems such as delivery delays, claims on the delivered product or operational inconveniences on subsequent rework lines. It is therefore essential to have reliable and long-lasting tools to carry out this control in complete safety and which are capable of generating processing reports available for consultation at any time during the life of the product.

Coating thickness

We provide modern, latest generation, totally digital solutions for substrate and coating measurement

Thin films thickness

Ultra-thin thicknesses constitute a major technological challenge. In these systems it is essential to be able to rely on ultra-precise and ultra-performing sensors at the base, and then add the multiple compensations.

Thickness in clean environments

We offer cost effective laser based solutions for clean production environments such as cutting and slitting lines. By clean industrial environments we refer to those environments in which the part to be measured is not covered with layers of dirt, water or emulsion. In these cases, optical technologies offer an efficient alternative to absorption's based solutions and can be used with satisfaction and a good degree of efficiency.

Key features

Quality index

Identify and monitor parameters to optimize the production quality index, whether it is a flat product or a long product. In addition to displaying direct variables, it is also possible to view those acquired from other peripherals in the line, in order to obtain a complete picture of what is happening.

Over / under tolerances

Counts absolute values and percentages of total out-of-tolerance meters and uses real-time signals to discard, cut, or slow down when approaching an out-of-tolerance.

Feedback for the cut to reduce the waste

Get precise and timely information for cutting coordinates for off-thickness waste.

Automatic thickness control

The best possible input for the management of the automatic gauge and gap control of the production line

Remote mainenance, diagnostic and support

Continued support and additional guidance you may need during each phase of the process

Remote Shark 2.0
A powerful ally to sleep at night.

It's Saturday night, and something's wrong with your control systems. The phone rings.It's probably something really small, but no one on site has the right knowledge and is able to intervene. So it's your turn. You could have avoided it! Remote Shark is the definitive software for predictive maintenance and remote management. It's available for all our control solutions and it is your greatest ally in ensuring your systems' continued efficiency. You'll be alerted to any abnormal behavior weeks in advance, giving you plenty of time to address it, ensuring perfect operational continuity. You can have it yourself, or you can subscribe to our predictive maintenance program; we can use it for you and remotely alert you if something is wrong well in advance.

Try it for free!

Remote Shark is the ultimate solution for remote monitoring, preventive diagnostics, and predictive maintenance. Each of our control systems monitors its efficiency parameters in real time. These parameters are visible and controllable in the standard packages, but increasingly, managers have very limited time to monitor them due to other responsibilities.

Remote Shark provides all the remote monitoring tools, including the ability to be notified via email or text message directly from the system when key parameters go out of range.

Remote Shark allows you to be alerted via a secure internet connection to potential component deterioration or early stages of malfunction. In addition to using this software package yourself, you can delegate this monitoring to us, for an instant assessment of potential impending failures or deterioration of components requiring attention.

If you'd like to try Remote Shark for a limited time, completely free of charge, contact us. We're sure you'll love it.

Update your obsolete system !

In modern industry, obsolete systems constitute an impediment to carrying out normally the daily activities and a risk for the personnel assigned to use them. The limited possibilities of interfacing, outdated protocols and spare parts availability increasingly slowing down, would make obsolete equipment a source of uncertainty that cannot be relied on. Down times and average times between two failures on obsolete systems become dramatically important, and, especially in closed systems, the difficulties in obtaining an effective technical maintenance service are increasing over time, as the skills are going down. People in charge to maintain old equipment are disappearing, and system's manufacturers are mostly concentrated on new systems and modern technologies, leaving old systems unsupported. In addition to the potential and reduced reliability, the problem of non-compliance with the technical prescriptions that make them often also occurs safe in their use. We propose update campaigns that allow the user to reuse the functional parts, such as carpentry still in a good state of conservation, interconnections and mechanical parts that allow to perform a complete update of the systems with significant savings on cost on intervention and downtime. Upgrade kits are available for industrial equipment of different years and different manufacturers, which mainly concern:
