1. Measuring instrument technical advantages
1) Performance characteristics of the diameter measuring instrument
(1) The measurement is accurate, and the dynamic error of measuring round steel is not greater than 0.01mm. The dynamic error of the rebar is not more than 0.06mm.
(2) The unique jitter error elimination technology completely eliminates the measurement error caused by the jitter of the rolling material.
(3) All-digital high-frequency measurement system, the measurement frequency is up to 2000Hz, that is, 2000 rolled sections are measured per second
(4) It can detect the common defects of round steel, such as: “ear”, “wrong roll”, etc.
(5) Measurement data alarm function.
(6) Historical data queries can be provided.
2) High precision, calibration-free
The DBM calliper adopts a strictly designed and calculated optical path system with clear imaging boundaries. And the whole series of products are adjusted according to the accuracy of 3 microns, reaching the international leading level of large-diameter measuring instruments. During normal use, the calliper is free from calibration for all dimensions within the range, providing users with unprecedented convenience.
3) Provide an external database
In addition to the storage and analysis functions of the measurement data, the software also provides an external database, which is convenient for users to process, organize, analyze, calculate, and count the measurement data according to their own needs.
4) Strong defect detection capability
The software has the ability to detect the wrong roll, ear, head defect length and tail defect length of the bar, providing strong quality support for actual production.
5) Excellent protection performance
The calliper is designed according to the protection level of IP54 to prevent dust from entering, prevent splashing water from entering, resist high temperatures, resist electromagnetic interference, and adapt to harsh operating environments.
6) Independent steel guide
It is recommended to use an independent steel guide for this equipment and use the rolling line guide trough directly, and the steel passing parts are neither connected nor contacted with the calliper. The impact and vibration of the steel guide groove will not affect the calliper, which reduces the factors that cause the calliper to fail and saves the purchase and management costs of the special guide groove.
7) High-brightness LED light source
The LED light source imported from the United States equipped with the measuring head of DBM calliper has high brightness, long life and strong temperature adaptability.
★ The highest brightness can reach 3000mcd. Even in the case of slight dust pollution on the window lens, the diameter measurement is normal, which prolongs the maintenance cycle of the diameter measurement instrument;
★ The normal service life is more than 80,000 hours;
★ The ambient temperature -20℃~50℃ can be used normally, and the environmental adaptability is better than that of the laser lens.
8) High-frequency measurement
The scanning frequency of the calliper depends on two conditions: one is the CCD chip with high scanning frequency; the other is the digital signal acquisition system. The DBM calliper adopts a new high-frequency linear array CCD chip with a scanning frequency of 15MHz, combined with the fully digital signal acquisition system independently developed by the company, and the sampling frequency can reach 1000Hz

Advantages of high-frequency measurement: When measuring high-speed rolling products, the higher the measurement frequency, the smaller the interval between measurement points, and the higher the probability of detecting product defects. As shown in Figure 2.1, it is assumed that the rolling speed of the rolled material is 100m/s, and there are 6 defect points within each meter. When the measurement frequency is 100Hz, at most one defect point can be detected per meter; when the measurement frequency is 2000Hz, it is possible to detect multiple defect points within 1 meter.
9) Industrial computer calculation, stable performance
At present, the data processing method of most manufacturers’ diameter measuring instruments is that the single-chip computer calculates the final result, and then transmits it to the industrial computer for post-processing. Such a circuit system has poor adaptability to the environment of high temperature, high dust, and strong electromagnetic interference at the steel rolling site. In order to improve the environmental adaptability and performance stability of the calliper, Lanpeng has developed a circuit system that directly transmits the collected raw data to the industrial computer for calculation. The adaptability of the calliper to the field environment is improved, and the operation stability of the whole set of equipment is greatly improved.
10) Techniques for Eliminating Jitter Errors
In the calliper industry, the measurement error caused by the jitter of the measured object has always been a problem that plagues the technicians in the industry, and other manufacturers have not solved it so far. After painstaking research, our company took the lead in solving this problem in the industry by adopting multiple synchronization technologies such as light source-signal acquisition unit pulse synchronization, multi-channel acquisition synchronization, signal acquisition-communication transmission synchronization, etc. It eliminates the jitter error and fills the gap in domestic technology.
11) The LED display is large and full of functions
The on-site LED display screen configured by Lanpeng Caliper has an overall size of 1550mm×1070mm, a data word height of about 150mm, and a visual distance of more than 30m, which is convenient for on-site operators to monitor in time. The LED display screen has an on-site alarm function. The specific alarm method is: when the three detection index values of the tested rolled material are within the normal range, the font of the index will be displayed as “green”. When one or more detection index values of the tested rolled material are in the upper tolerance, the value of the corresponding indicator will change to “red”, and the running status will be displayed as red “out of tolerance”; When the value of one or more detection indicators is in the lower limit, the value of the corresponding indicator will turn “yellow”, and the operation status will be displayed in red “out of tolerance”.
12) Easy maintenance
There are only two daily maintenance items for this set of equipment, namely, the wiping of the window lens and the cleaning of the fan filter element. The maintenance cycle, maintenance method, and time of these two items are as follows:
★ The maintenance cycle of window lenses is about 20 days. During maintenance, remove the sealing ring on the caliper, wipe the window lens clean with a lens cleaning cloth, and then install the sealing ring. Lens maintenance only takes about 10 minutes once.
★ The maintenance cycle of the fan filter element is 1 to 2 weeks (depending on the site environment). During maintenance, take out the filter element from the filter housing, drop it lightly on the ground, or use a compressed air duct to clean the dust on the filter element. Maintenance takes no more than 10 minutes.
★ Open the door for maintenance, easy to clean and wipe the lens, and the operation is more convenient.
