AMETEK Land Offers New Linescanners for High-Temperature Metal Processes



PITTSBURGH, PA--Ametek Land has expanded its range of infrared line-scanners with models for imaging and controlling high-temperature processes in the metals industries.

Collectively, the new Landscan LSP10, LSP20 and LSP21 infrared linescanner heads cover the temperature spectrum from 392° to 2552°F /200° to 1400°C, encompassing almost every process in the production of billets, beams, sections, plate, strip, rod and wire.

With more than fifteen years of linescanning experience, Land's technical staff can advise users of the most appropriate choice of scanning head, signal processor and software for all types of metal processing applications - continuous casting, hot rolling, galvanizing, galvannealing and welding.

All Landscan linescanners, including high-temperature models, are sufficiently compact to allow installation where space is restricted. Each has a robust sapphire viewing window that protects against damage on the production line and keeps maintenance to a minimum.

Scan speed, sighting angle and focus are all variable. An integral laser targeting system simplifies the task of aligning the scanning head. One notable technical feature is the extremely fast speed of response which, at =1µs to 95% energy, achieves highly accurate hot-edge detection that can be used to check on the width of the product being processed.

A choice of Landscan control signal processors and LSP mountings and accessories are available to interface with local process control systems as well as with the Landscan Windows® Control and Analysis (WCA) software that provides additional capacity for display, analysis and storage of recorded temperature data.

AMETEK Land is a unit of AMETEK, Inc. (NYSE: AME) is a leading global manufacturer of electronic instruments and electromechanical devices motors with annualized sales of approximately $1.8 billion.
