Non-contact measurement in steel, aluminum and metal production

Non-contact length and speed measurement in production processes in the steel, aluminum and metal industry is the domain of Polytec LSV Laser Surface Velocimeters - made in Germany. High-precision measurement with laser accuracy in harsh conditions is what theses optical sensors were made for. LSV provide reliable measurement data for feedback on machining processes, process control and process optimization. Benefit from laser precision and non-contact measurement using Polytec LSV in order to optimize product quality, yield and avoid cost caused by overproduction slippage and wear. Monitor red-hot strand profiles without contact or measure skin-pass degrees with the utmost precision. LSV optical sensors help you with a wide range of sensors, offering you the optimum stand-off distances for your measurement application.

With over 20 years of experience in the industry and in laser measurement technology Polytec builds reliable velocity and length sensors that industrial customers can have confidence in. ProSpeed® optical length and speed sensors help create solutions for a variety of applications in the metal industry. For instance, in continuous casting plants, hot and cold rolling mills, coating plants, pipe production and many more applications – LSVs do their job all over the world with the utmost reliability.
