Measure the narrow face taper in a slab caster mold reliably using the ST120 from Sequence Technologies. Accurate taper is an important parameter in the production process, typically obtained by mechanical means, which can be unsafe and error prone. Sequence Technologies has solved this by developing a rugged, battery powered electronic instrument suitable for the steel industry.

The ST120 is a portable, battery powered gauge used to measure narrow face mold taper with precise accuracy (0.001in). Improper taper can often lead to product defects and increased

mechanical wear of the mold narrow faces. The unique design of the ST120 ensures it is self-aligning and remains in contact against the narrow face to take consistent readings. The gauge uses an LCD display for viewing taper with easy to read digits for the operator in English or Metric units. To access configuration and calibration setups, simply plug in a standard PC keyboard into the back of the unit. A display Menu appears on the screen which is used to access the setup, diagnostics and calibration menus. The latest design of the ST120 incorporates and a breakthrough in gauge power and performance. A Lithium Ion 18v battery is used to supply power to the gauge. These Off-the-shelf batteries and chargers can be found at local hardware stores which eliminate the need for expensive repairs. The batteries have an auto shut-off feature protecting them against failure and can be fully charged in 25 minutes. KEY FEATURES Quick and precise mold taper measurement Accuracy of 0.001 inches (0.03mm) Lightweight (18lbs), self-aligning design Digital interface for viewing taper and calibration NEW battery design uses Ridgid 18v Lithium Ion Simple calibration method using standard PC keyboard BENEFITS Reduce time required for taper measurement Ensure optimum quality of cast product Reduce mechanical wear and breakout potential

Measurement Principle The ST120 uses an inclinometer to accurately measure the taper. Sensor output voltage is proportional to the narrow face slope (taper). The gauge calculates the actual scaled distance that the top of the narrow face is set back from the bottom narrow face.
