At LIMAB UK, we understand how important it is for companies within the steel industry to have reliable, in-process measuring systems. As most steel production plants operate 24/7, the equipment must be capable of operating for long periods in very harsh environments without the need for regular maintenance or recalibration.
The consequences of poor process measurement can be devastating for businesses. The lack of process control can increase manufacturing costs and lead to dissatisfied customers, which can very quickly lead to a lack of confidence in your ability to fulfil your customers’ needs and result in reputational damage and loss of market share.
We have worked for many years with several of the world’s best steel and metal processing companies to provide in-process, non-contact measurement systems providing dependable, accurate measurements. Our measurement sensors and systems precisely measure key parameters, such as temperature, dimension, speed and profile.
We have the expertise to help you implement the in-process measurement system to suit your particular requirements. Our systems will provide the next level of process control, helping you to improve plant efficiency and allowing you to take swift corrective actions leading to a better-quality end product and reassurance for your customers.
By working with industry-leading suppliers, we can offer premium quality products providing you with the most cost-effective measurement solutions. With a proven track record of working with companies similar to yours, we can help you identify the most suitable product for your particular needs. Once the equipment is on-site, we can also provide commissioning and training, as well as ongoing support packages.
We have many years of experience as a specialist distributor of steel measurement sensors and gauges. Our products are used in steel mills all over the world, and we have a deep understanding of the requirements and challenges faced by the steel industry.
Our team of experts will work closely with you to understand your specific needs. We are confident we can provide you with a working solution that will provide measurable benefit to your company.
For the steel industry, we offer the following measuring systems:
The TubeProfiler 3D is a mill gauge for precise in-process measuring of the diameter and shape of hot or cold-rolled tubes or pipes.
The TubeProfiler S is the only in-line system for measuring the straightness of round tubes without slowing down the production process. The mill gauge also provides diameter, shape and length of hot or cold-rolled tubes or pipes.
The SlabProfiler 3D is for use in slab continuous casting plants for measuring the width and edge profile and providing real-time process feedback.
The BarProfiler 3D is for use on bar mills for in-process measurement of the diameter and shape of hot-rolled bars, using the latest laser technology to capture the true shape and provide instant process feedback.
The ProfiCura 2D is a range of high definition, 2D laser profile sensors that have been developed for in-process measurement for industrial applications, suitable for use on both cold and hot glowing steel applications.
The PreciLine Lasers compact line projection lasers allow an operator to pre-visualise the cutting path for shearing or sawing applications or other applications where visual guidelines are required.
LaserSpeed® Auto-tracker allows accurate, non-contact, laser length measurement for slabs or hot bars travelling on wide roller tables or direct speed and length measurement on slab continuous casters.

“Accurate length control at the hot saws is critical to our operations, we needed to work with a company that understood our requirements and had the know-how to deliver an effective solution. LIMAB Ltd exceeded our expectations in delivering a turn-key measuring system that will improve our efficiency.”
“After looking at various suppliers LIMAB were chosen as the preferred company because of its experience in the measurement of tubes and the TubeProfiler suited the needs for accurate and continuous tube measurement. Their system has proven to be a real benefit in improving our tube manufacturing process and product quality.”
“We have been very impressed with LIMAB UK as a supplier and with how quickly the system was installed and commissioned. We now have accurate straightness and length measurements as well as a statistical record of every tube, that we produce on this line. We now consider this equipment an essential part of our production process to ensure our customers always receive the highest quality tubes. As a result of the positive outcome from the first installation, we have decided to invest in a second system for our other line and based on my experience, I would have no hesitation in recommending LIMAB UK.”
