Technologies

 

The core technologies used at DELTA include: infrared scanning (Rota-Sonde) for detection and position control of hot products, laser triangulation (Trilas TL) and laser time of flight (Dilas FT) for distance and dimensions measurement, stereoscopic vision (DigiScan) for width gauge and image processing (CropVision) for crop optimization.

These technologies are optimized for the extreme conditions of the metal industry and particularly for non-contact detection and measurement of products at very high temperature.

 

Accuracy and Reliability

DELTA has invested years of experience creating reliable and accurate sensors that stand the toughest conditions created by modern steel production. The scanning infrared and laser sensors from DELTA are the reference in the metal industry for detection, positioning of the edges and dimension measurement of product at very high speed and at temperature from cold to 1300 °C.

Each sensor consists of waterproof cast aluminium body and electronics that exceed most stringent specifications. Many sensors utilize self diagnostics with tests and alarms that insure proper operation and provide the necessary inputs essential in modern processing.

 

Quality

DELTA is committed to deliver the highest quality and the most reliable sensors. The strictest quality standards are applied to the design and manufacturing of every DELTA product.

DELTA S.A.S. is certified ISO 9001:2015 N° 1995/4590.7 since 1995 by Afnor certification.

DELTA has been setting the standards for hot metal detectors, optical barriers and measurement sensors in rolling mill and continuous caster. Accuracy and reliability are the key for steel mill automation.
