Benefit from ProSpeed® optical sensors
- Non-contact: no slippage, no wear for long-time accuracy
- Large depth-of-field masters varying distances
- Flexibility with up to 3m large stand-off distance
- Laser measures accurately on all materials, also red-hot
Measure length and speed in steel industry without contact
ProSpeed is the reliable sensor technology for the steel, aluminum and metals industry: Whether sheet material or piece good, from length control of cut sheets to speed measurement for the regulation of roll gaps according to the mass flow principle until cut-to-length control in continuous casting.
Reliable sensor performance in harsh environments
Non-contact length and speed monitoring with laser precision in steel, aluminum and metals processes is the domain of ProSpeed® LSV laser optical sensors made in Germany. Designed to excel in the toughest environments, whether oily, dusty, or dirty, these sensors provide unmatched performance where traditional methods fail. LSV (short for Laser Surface Velocimeter) provide real-time process data for optimized machining, superior process control, and increased efficiency. No slippage, no wear, no damage to the produced material surface. Just accurate, reliable measurement.
Contact us for custom sensor solutions, featuring adjustable stand-off distance and large depth of field, ensuring maximum flexibility: For hot applications, the umcompromising TPH Thermo-Protective Housing offers additional protection. For challenging environments, Polytec has elaborated a wide range of application-specific accessories, like air wipe, beam deflection, mounting and cooling plates - making any LSV sensor your custom measurement solution.
