Laser Based Instrumentation Solutions
Worldwide
competition continues to intensify, greatly impacting the profitability
and product quality of steel, aluminum and other non-ferrous producers.
As a result, metal producers are driven to improve productivity and
efficiency of their mills, while also increasing product quality to meet
growing demands of customers. In addition, line builders and engineering
companies responsible for electrical, instrumentation and control (EIC)
have to meet ever increasing mill performance guarantees. One factor
that can improve mill productivity and efficiency, and increase product
quality, is the ability to measure speed and length with higher
resolution and accuracy so that the process can be controlled more
precisely, within tighter manufacturing tolerances.
As laser technology continues to improve, the accuracy and reliability
of speed and length measurements continue to improve with it. Our guest
speaker will elaborate on this topic in further detail.
Speaker:
Bill Gehring

Northern Illinois University)
Bill spent 20 years with TSI Inc. selling and marketing research and
process control instrumentation. He has worked with Beta LaserMike for
the last 3 years selling and marketing LaserSpeed instrumentation for
metals industry.
