Exacting control over mechanical forces is fundamental to the stability, quality, and safety of metals production. From the rolling load in a mill stand to the delicate strip tension in a processing line, accurate force measurement provides the critical feedback needed for robust automation. Metals-Tech supplies and integrates high-performance force measurement solutions from globally recognized leaders, ensuring reliability in the most demanding industrial environments.

We partner with premier suppliers to offer a comprehensive portfolio:

Load Cells for Rolling Mills: Heavy-duty, high-accuracy load cells are engineered to measure the immense rolling forces in hot and cold mill stands. This data is the primary input for Automatic Gauge Control (AGC) systems, enabling precise thickness regulation and mill protection against overloads.Strip & Wire Tension Measurement: Robust tension meters, including load cell-based rollers and direct-measurement transducers, provide real-time feedback for closed-loop tension control in continuous processing lines (e.g., annealing, coating, galvanizing). This ensures stable strip handling, prevents breaks, and guarantees uniform product quality.
