Precise speed and length measurements are critical for controlling the production of continuous materials,
sheet materials and piece goods. ProSpeed – the next generation LSV Laser Surface Velocimeters – optimize production processes by providing reliable measurements and increase the output worldwide during production of strands, tubes, rails, beams, strips, or coils and in many more production processes in the metals industry. Due to the highly precise, non-contact measurement principle, ProSpeed laser sensors eliminate common problems of traditional contact-wheel measurement methods such as damage to delicate surfaces, slippage and thermal expansion on almost any surface. The optical sensor determines the direction of motion and standstill conditions, with extended stand-off distances of up to 3 m, adding flexibility for measurements under harsh conditions. For additional protection, choose the thermo-protective housing (TPH). The enhanced connectivity of the ProSpeed LSV-2100 ensures transparency – access it anywhere and anytime through the serial interface, the encoder interface, various fieldbus protocols and the web interface, from either stationary or mobile devices.
