Metals Industry

Specifying a Vibration Sensor

In the metalworking industry, equipment like furnaces, mills, and presses are essential, therefore continuous operation under intense conditions is critical. At Hansford Sensors we specialise in providing robust vibration sensors that ensure high reliability and performance for the metals industry. Our advanced solutions support predictive maintenance, helping to avoid unexpected downtime, minimise repair costs, and maximise production efficiency.

Why Choose Robust Vibration Sensors for Metalworking?

In metalworking facilities, equipment is often subjected to extreme stresses, high temperatures, and rapid cycles. At Hansford Sensors our robust vibration sensors are designed to withstand these challenging environments, providing accurate and stable monitoring for critical assets such as:

• Rolling Mills: Detect early signs of wear in bearings and shafts, allowing timely maintenance.
• Furnaces and Presses: Monitor vibration levels in high-heat applications to protect equipment from overheating and prevent catastrophic failures.
• Cutting and Stamping Machinery: Identify mechanical issues like misalignments or imbalances that could affect precision and speed.

Benefits of Robust Vibration Sensors in Metalworking

• Enhanced Reliability: By continuously monitoring machinery for irregularities, our robust vibration sensors detect faults before they escalate, ensuring smooth and uninterrupted operation.
• Cost Savings: Proactive maintenance reduces the need for expensive repairs and avoids unexpected shutdowns.
• Improved Safety: Detecting wear and potential failures early on helps prevent hazardous conditions, creating a safer work environment.
• Extended Equipment Life: By maintaining optimal equipment health, our robust vibration sensors reduce stress on components, extending their operational lifespan.
