WG Series Width Gauge System

The quest for excellence in the steel industry is constantly evolving, along with the increasing demands for quality control and productivity. In response to this development, SpechtLab has developed the WG Series width gauge, which provides reliable and highly accurate measurements even under the most difficult conditions in the industry. The WG Series perfectly performs width, length and center deviation measurements in steel, tire and paper production processes, thus ensuring production quality.

Hot and Cold Applications

The stereoscopic width measuring principle of the WG Series is effective in overcoming difficulties such as thickness changes, bending, lifting and waviness in hot and cold strips. These devices use the optical radiation emitted by the hot products themselves to create contrast and thus provide precise width and length measurements. At temperatures below 600°C and in cold applications, optional back or front illumination can be used, thus ensuring reliable measurements in both temperature conditions.

Center Deviation Detection and Optimization

Another important feature of the WG Series is the ability to detect deviation from center. This feature ensures that steel sheets, coils or strips are aligned correctly on the production line. Offering high accuracy measurements without being affected by material fluctuations, the WG Series enables early detection of deviations in the production process, allowing operators to take quick action to prevent errors and production delays..

Superior Measuring Capacity with Stereoscopic Technology

The WG Series has been developed to provide precise measurements of critical parameters such as width, length and offset in steel production processes. These devices, which can be used in both hot and cold rolling processes, are equipped with high-resolution and high-speed digital cameras and perform width and length measurements of strip and plate products with great accuracy.

Automation and Easy Integration

SpechtLab has equipped the WG Series devices with automatic features to increase efficiency in the steel industry. These devices automatically perform width, length and center deviation measurements and minimize manual intervention. While ensuring seamless integration into the production line, they easily adapt to different production needs with their user-friendly graphic interfaces and modular structure. The simple installation process of the devices requires only one electrical connection, one Ethernet connection and three quick connections for water and air. The WG Series devices can be easily integrated into any automation system and offer a wide range of digital and analog inputs and outputs as well as various connection options such as TCP/IP and Profibus DP.

Robust and Reliable Design

SpechtLab’s WG Series devices are designed for long-term use in the harsh environments of steel production. Their robust structure, steel casing, water cooling and air purification system with no moving parts increase their durability. In addition, their simple maintenance requirements minimize operational interruptions and provide long-term cost savings.

SpechtLab’s WG Series measuring system take the steel industry to a new level of precision, reliability and efficiency. These high-tech instruments contribute to optimizing production processes while also providing valuable data insights, providing an unrivaled advantage. SpechtLab is committed to providing solutions that meet the industry’s most stringent demands while continuing to support steel producers with superior quality and performance.
