VPT3: Position Transducer for Aluminum Rolling Mills

The VPT3 Position Transducer is a state-of-the-art solution for aluminum cold rolling mills. It delivers continuous, accurate, and reliable roll gap position measurements. These transducers are mounted on the sides of the mill roll load cylinders. In challenging environments, maintaining precise roll gap positions is crucial for strip gauge control. This precision optimizes product quality and enhances production efficiency. The VPT3 Position Transducer provides robust and dependable linear position measurements. It ensures seamless operation for both aluminum cold and foil mills.

The VPT3 roll gap position measurement is designed for the demanding conditions of aluminum cold rolling mills. Its stainless steel construction and large bearing surface areas ensure a long operating life. Low friction seals prevent contamination, and its bellow-less design enhances mill reliability. This makes it suitable for new installations and upgrades to existing mills. Using a non-contact magnetic measurement principle, it provides an incremental linear position signal for high accuracy and reliability.

The VPT3 features a quick-release, anti-backlash, self-aligning attachment system. This allows for easy installation and maintenance without the need for special tools. It is universally compatible with all mill types and offers a range of stroke lengths, making it adaptable to specific mill needs. Electrical connections are made through a stainless steel braided PTFE signal cable hose, with options for direct wiring to a junction box. This flexibility ensures seamless integration into any mill setup, enhancing operational efficiency.
