InteliSENS® SLM-i4

SPEED & LENGTH MEASUREMENT

Proton Products InteliSENS® SLM-i4 Series non-contact, unidirectional speed and length gauges provide extremely accurate speed and length measurements for metals industry applications.

The SLM-i4 tracks very small speed and length product movements for hot and cold rolling applications. Solid-state digital technology, with no moving parts, ensures rock-solid reliability. The SLM-i4 has accuracy better than ±0.05%. Testing of each SLM-i4 and SLRM-i4 includes temperature cycle tests before final QC testing. Each gauge has a unique UKAS calibration certificate. The SLM-i4 connects easily to all standard control systems for fast commissioning and easy integration.

Precise, high-resolution measurement
No moving parts for high reliability and low maintenance
Full integration with PLC, and metals gauging equipment
Industry 4.0 data communications
Permanent calibration, minimal maintenance
Rugged protection enclosures available
Ultra-stable 780 nm laser diode (*XXX-780-i4 Series ONLY)
