20130160509 | METHOD AND DEVICE TO CONTROL THE SECTION SIZES OF A ROLLED PRODUCT - A method controls the section sizes of a rolled product in a segment of a rolling line between at least two rolling stands, wherein each is provided with its own drive members, in which at least a detector located between the two rolling stands detects a characteristic size of the rolled product. A control unit compares the characteristic size of the rolled product with a reference size and acts on said drive members in order to hold the rolled product in an optimal drawing condition. The method comprises setting a predefined value of an electric quantity of at least one of the drive members, measuring the reference size, and verifying the characteristic size of the rolled product in transit. If a deviation is detected between the characteristic size and the reference size, returning the characteristic size of the rolled product to the reference size. | 06-27-2013 |
20130147465 | DEVICE TO DETECT THE LEVEL OF LIQUID METAL IN A CASTING APPARATUS AND RELATIVE METHOD - A device to detect the level of liquid metal (M) in a casting apparatus includes a box-like structure associated in correspondence with an upper end of a crystallizer. The box-like structure has a peripheral cavity inside in which a device for the generation and detection of a variable magnetic field is disposed. The device for the generation and detection extends for a segment beyond an inner corner of the crystallizer so as to face directly into the open top of the crystallizer. | 06-13-2013 |
20130111987 | LEVEL DETECTION DEVICE IN A CASTING EQUIPMENT AND RELATIVE DETECTION METHOD - A level detection device in casting equipment oscillating linearly, in a manner concordant with a substantially vertical direction of advance of molten steel in the casting equipment at a desired frequency of oscillation includes the device oscillating at the same frequency and disposed at a predetermined operating height. The device generates a continuous magnetic field, and the field generator is oriented transversely to the direction of advance of the steel in the casting equipment, so as to generate alternate induced currents in the molten steel. The device detects a variable induced magnetic field generated by and concatenated with said alternate induced currents, wherein the intensity of the variable induced magnetic field as detected is correlated to the level of the molten steel in the casting equipment with respect to the operating height. | 05-09-2013 |
20120303315 | Device for Measuring the Speed of Products in Movement, in Particular Metal Rolled Products in a Rolling Line, and Relative Method - Device for measuring speed of oblong products moving along feed direction and emitting radiations, in particular rolled metal products in rolling line, including two radiation sensors, disposed reciprocally at close distance respectively defining an optical observation window, at pre-arranged distance from each other. Each window covers the image of an advancing product determinate portion equal to relative window width, irrespective of portion's movements transverse to feed direction. Sensors observe the presented product portion, on each occasion, in correspondence with associated windows consecutively along feed direction, and measure continuously intensity of radiation from the product portion in correspondence with the windows. Electronic processing unit determines, by processing electric signals associated with detected radiation intensity and arriving from sensors, using algorithms based on the correlation principle, time taken by the product portion to transit from first window to second, successive window, and then, based on distance between windows, calculates product speed. | 11-29-2012 |
