Use of Sensors in the Steel Industry
Why are Sensors Important?
The Power of Sensors
In the highly demanding environment of the steel industry, precision, safety, and speed are non-negotiable. Sensors play a critical role in ensuring these standards are met across every stage of production. From monitoring molten metal movement to positioning heavy rolling equipment, sensor-based automation enhances accuracy and minimizes human error.
Delta Sensors & Systems - Official Business Partner of Unisons in Pakistan
Unisons has partnered with one of the leading manufacturers of industrial sensors—Delta Sensors and Systems— that provides robust and reliable solutions tailored for steelmaking environments. The following are some of the key sensor types that have become essential in steel plants:
1. Loop Scanner
Loop scanners are crucial for managing the position of steel strips during the rolling process. They help in maintaining correct tension and alignment of the strip, preventing production defects and equipment damage.
Why they matter: Accurate loop control ensures consistent material flow, reducing the risk of breakage or uneven rolling.
2. Hot Metal Detector (HMD)
Hot metal detectors are designed to detect the presence and exact location of hot steel products. These sensors are vital for automated positioning, cutting, and transportation operations.
Why they matter: HMDs work in extremely high-temperature zones where human access is risky. They help automate safety-critical decisions with split-second precision.
3. Infrared Temperature Sensors
These sensors are used to measure the temperature of slabs, billets, and other hot products in real time. Delta’s infrared sensors are engineered to withstand the harsh conditions of steel mills.
Why they matter: Accurate temperature monitoring enables better process control, especially in heating and cooling phases.
4. Proximity and Position Sensors
These sensors are used to monitor the position of actuators, conveyors, and product flow in various production stages.
Why they matter: They ensure synchronized movement of equipment and material, improving coordination and reducing delays.
5. Laser Distance Sensors
Laser-based sensors help with measuring the dimensions and alignment of hot and cold products.
Why they matter: Dimension control is vital for product quality and standard compliance in rolled and formed steel goods.
