Decades of unbroken experience
The knowledge of the production process is our strength
Data as the root of optimization
We are specialists in delivering proven and ready to use solutions for process control and optimization successfully applied on line during the production process of flat and long metal products as well on other materials such as plastics, rubbers, ceramics and even wood.
Wherever there is a need for an accurate process control, we are able to offer a complete solution for online measurement, data acquisition, data management with the final goal of the process optimization. With the help of cutting-edge technologies, we are able to provide effective, rapid and concrete answers to modern production needs.
Without data, nothing is controlled, nothing is decided, nothing is improved.
LGE became in 1999 a technical partner of one of the leading groups in no contact industrial measurements, active in the steel making activities since 1949, providing the digital part of the system including the early software, running on DOS and the new born Windows. The history of the online gauging has very deep roots in the past. Everything started in the 50's, when the no contact measuring principle was extended to measure thickness, density and continuity on several kind of materials by Sheffield Measuray Corporation, as first in the Industry.
- Process Control
- Process Optimization
- In-line measurements
- Big data management
- Alternative spare parts
- Radiometric services
- Non destructive tests
We offer the most reliable and modern thickness control solutions designed to work, no stops, in harsh environment using X-Rays and laser technologies. Our solutions have always been used as an optimal tool to obtain the required thickness from hot and cold rolling processes, providing a precise and stable signal to automatic gauge control systems.
Our optical and vision based solutions represent the state of the art of non-contact width and shape controls on hot and cold strips and slabs but also on long products such as billets and pipes.
Where there is a need to online control shape and dimensions, we have the most innovative solution for identifying visual defects and out of tolerances dimensional size in line during the manufacturing processes of flat and long products such as pipes.
The ultimate solution for measuring flatness and roughness using bidimensional laser technolgies.
Where there is a need to online control the thickness variancy or the continuity of hidden or non-visible parts during the production, for example an internal welding bead in a metal pipe, our scarfing monitor systems are the ideal solution.
Where there is a need to online control and regulate the concentration of the coolant emulsion.
