of production data for long-term monitoring, process improvements and quality certificates. The system comprises information from over 70 different parameters, such as OD, ovality, length and shape, with alarm signals in case of exceeding tolerance or warning limits. WireProfiler and HotProfiler are easy to install in the existing line and easy to relocate to other parts of the mill, using the built-in lifting hooks and the quick change air and electrical connectors. LIMAB has installations in many different markets, such as Japan, Germany, Russia, India, the Middle East and North America, as well as the Nordic countries.

in

non-contact

laser sensor development, SW engineering, design and manufacturing all done in-house, and has developed several innovative measurement solutions for the steel industry, such as diameter, shape, length, thickness, straightness and width measurements. A steady market growth and increased demand for better process control and quality requirement from end users forced LIMAB to find more adapted facilities for both development and production, and it will soon celebrate its first year in the new custom-built premises in Gothenburg, Sweden. The two current measurement systems for wire and bars, WireProfiler and HotProfiler, measure the dimension and shape with very high accuracy on round, square and other forms. are non-contact in-line laser measuring systems for hot and cold applications in bar and wire rolling mills. The system can be equipped with up to 18 sensors placed in a rotating or fixed measurement frame. The LIMAB software displays real-time numbers and trend graphs in both 2D and 3D for easy viewing. The database provides an excellent source measurement, with WireProfiler and HotProfiler
