Molten metal flow control system for continuous casting
Industry
Customer Requirements
To control flow of molten metal, and to replace hydraulic systems, with a system which controls molten metal with higher accuracy, faster response and has ability to handle 100kg thrust force.
NV GEN Solution
- nv-Gen used Parker liner motor driven electromechanical actuator, using contact-less magnetic scale to achieve high accuracy throughout the stroke
- nv-GEn used Ewellix linear bearing to handle a higher bending movement
Success Factor
- To improve the quality /finish of steel billet
- Improves productivity using a better close loop system
- It is an Upgraded high technological based solution
Customer Value
- The elimination of hydraulic system, since the application is in a high temperature zone.
- This avoids leakage and helps a maintenance free system
- The High response time is due to high accuracy of system
- Master-Slave communication of proportionate value
