Description
The XLEV sensor is based on electromagnetic eddy-current sensing technology, which allows measuring the distance to a metal surface. It includes:
- 1 sensor head (suspended or ledge type)
- 1 hot area cable
- 1 fully digital processing unit panel and touch screen HMI
Advantages
- Ledge or suspended with the same processing unit
- Measures the actual steel level
- Full digital signal processing
- Compatible with electromagnetic stirrers and brakes
- Several heads designs for different caster situations (slab, thin slab, bloom, H-beam)
- Fieldbus by Profibus-DP or Ethernet-IP
Options
- 2-chanel processing unit (XPUP-2) also available
- Possible distance from sensor head to processing unit up to 100 meters with no additional electronic
- Robot manipulator to move suspended head in & out of the mould
