We will be attending this years METEC international trade fair held at Düsseldorf, Germany. LIMAB have 30 years experience of development and manufacture of lasers sensors and measuring systems. We specialise in inspection equipment for in- process measurement to improve product quality and reduce manufacturing costs for our customers. For this year’s event will have a fully operational HotProfiler system on display. The HotProfiler uses LIMAB’s unique rotating triangulation measuring principle providing unparalleled measurement of the the shape and dimensions of hot rolled bars or tubes. We will also have a SlabProfiler using our new ProfiCura-2D sensors for width and edge profile measurement of slabs on continuous casters. In addition we will have other laser sensors on display suitable for measurement of width, length and position for all types of applications found in steel mills.
We also would like to invite customers to to visit the Beta LaserMike stand located in hall 05 stand no A29 where you will find the complete range of LaserSpeed® products. LaserSpeed® non-contact gauges accurately measure the speed and length of hot or cold steel and have many applications in steel plants from continuous caster speed and length, tube/bar/billet length, strip elongation, and sawing/shearing length control.
LIMAB will be attending this years LIGNA international trade fair held at Hannover, Germany. LIMAB specialise in laser measuring and scanning systems to optimise sawmills operations. We will have a number of measuring and scanning systems for in-process non-contact measurement on display. In fact we are showing for the first time two brand new products that we trust you will find of interest.
Wood based producers will have a particular interest in our PanelProfiler, this is our non-contact laser based in-process panel thickness measuring system.
Sawmills will be interested in our new BoardProfilerL a scanning system for lineal conveyers for wane optimisation for board planers and flooring production lines. Also for sawmills we will have on display our new ProfiCura2D cup detection system suitable for both lineal and transverse conveyors. Both products are based on our latest laser 2D profile scanners.
Vallourec Mannesmann has chosen LIMAB as their gauge supplier at their facilities near Glasgow. In November 2009 a LIMAB TubeProfiler was installed to measure the diameter and shape of hot rolled tubes in the size range of 4 ½” – 16 ½” (114-419 mm). The gauge is mounted immediately after the sizing mill and provides instant feedback as to the size and shape of the tubes being produced. In a separate installation a little further downstream the length of the tubes are measured using a LaserSpeed LS8000-316E. This non contact Doppler technology measures every tube to mm accuracy. Vallourec Mannesmann is a leading company in production of seamless steel tubes for the oil and gas industry.

LIMAB will be attending the 5th Global Conference and exhibition being held between 4-5th October 2010. The event will be held at the Millennium Gloucester Hotel, London. The theme for this years event is ’Profiting from the recovery’
LIMAB will be showing one of our non contact thickness and width measuring systems and will be available to discuss any measuring applications.
The conference is organised by by the Global Insulation Magazine, for full conference details click here
LIMAB will be attending this years Tube international trade fair held at Düsseldorf, Germany. LIMAB specialise in laser and inspection equipment to improve product quality and reduce manufacturing costs for our customers. LIMAB will be showing the latest version of our TubeProfiler for measuring the shape / geometry of tubes and pipes. The TubeProfiler uses the latest laser triangulation technology to provide accurate and fast shape and cross section measurement of hot tubes in a rolling mill environment. The system is suitable for either cold or hot tubes from 20-2000 mm in diameter.

Our new non contact thickness or width measuring system developed to meet the needs of the foam, rubber and insulation material producers but is also suitable for many other types of materials such as wood based panels and various laminates. These types of materials can now be accurately measured on-line saving time and ensuring customer satisfaction by eliminating rejects due to incorrect caliper. The system provides full process monitoring recording all product thickness and length data ready for instant access if required at a later date. In addition a convenient statistical report is also compiled summarising the measurement over an entire reel of production or product shift.
LIMAB will be attending the 4th Global Insulation Conference held at Prague on the 2-3 of November 2009 The conference will concentrate on energy efficiency in manufacture, recyclability, product optimisation and insulation advances; innovation, development and networking; mineral wool, polyurethane, cellulose, fibreglass, polyiso, polystyrene and other thermal insulation materials.
