What are the specific applications of high temperature laser ranging sensors?

April 10, 2024

High-temperature laser ranging sensors play a key role in many industrial fields due to their high precision, high temperature resistance, and non-contact measurement. The following is a detailed classification of their specific application scenarios:

1. Steel and metallurgical industry

Blast furnace material level monitoring: Real-time monitoring of the material level of raw materials in the blast furnace to ensure a stable smelting process.

Continuous casting machine billet positioning: Accurately measure the position of the billet in a high temperature (above 1000°C) environment, and improve the accuracy to ±2mm (traditional infrared cameras are only ±20mm).

Hot rolling mill slab positioning: ensure the precise positioning of the slab during the rolling process and improve product quality.

Converter steel level monitoring: optimize the smelting process and reduce the risk of steel overflow.

2. Glass manufacturing industry

Furnace glass level monitoring: prevents glass liquid from overflowing and ensures a stable melting process.

Float glass production lines: Monitor glass sheet thickness and position to improve product consistency.

Annealing furnace temperature distribution monitoring: optimize annealing process and reduce glass stress.

Forming machine control: Assists the robot arm to perform precise cutting and handling.

3. Aerospace

Engine blade inspection: Measure the dimensional accuracy of turbine blades to ensure engine performance.

Internal measurement of combustion chamber: monitor combustion chamber geometry and temperature distribution, and optimize design.

Aircraft assembly docking: Improve the assembly accuracy of large components such as fuselage and wings.

Coating thickness measurement: ensuring uniformity of coating on aircraft surfaces.

4. Chemical and energy industry

Chemical reactor liquid level monitoring: ensuring safe production under high temperature and high pressure environment.

Thermal power furnace monitoring: optimize combustion efficiency and reduce energy consumption.

Level monitoring in waste incinerators: controlling the combustion process and reducing pollution emissions.

5. Other industrial applications

Automobile manufacturing: engine casting line monitoring, paint level control.

Cement production: high temperature kiln material level monitoring.

Nuclear industry: Nuclear fuel assembly position monitoring.

Summary of technical advantages  

High temperature resistance: can measure objects above 1000°C.

High precision: millimeter-level measurement, far superior to traditional infrared or visual solutions.

Non-contact type: suitable for fragile or high-temperature materials such as molten metal and glass.

Anti-interference: Remains stable in strong infrared radiation and dusty environments.
