Oil layer determination EMG SOLID®
Optimize your oiling and forming process!
EMG SOLID® is a system that is used for the online measurement of oil layers on running strip material (SOLID = Surface Oil Layer Inline Determination).
The increased demands on new materials and more complex components require an greater process reliability. The oil layer has also become extremely important for the forming process of steel and aluminium sheet products. Ever increasing demands with regard to a uniform and defined oil layer are particularly apparent in the automotive industry.
The typical application spectrum ranges from the rolling mill, where the initial application of oil is implemented, to metal processors, for whom sufficient lubrication in the forming process and an oil-free surface before coatings or paintings are applied, is essential.
EMG SOLID® performs an online measurement within the production line to determine the layer of oil on the running strip over the entire width and length of the material. The system utilises infrared spectroscopy to measure the surface weight of the oil layer and then visualises it over the entire surface of the strip.
