Hubner MAG Encoder: Steel Mill (Indiana)

Industry:

Metals | Technology: Electric Motor Encoder

Challenge:

A major steel mill experienced repeated downtime from a failing encoder in a high-vibration environment with tight installation constraints.

Solution:

Hartsock Industrial implemented a Hubner MAG Encoder — a compact, bearing-free, sealed system ideal for limited-space applications — providing reliable performance and minimal maintenance.

Results:

VEM Roller Table Motors: Steel Mill (Indiana)

Industry:

Metals | Technology: Roller Table Motors

Challenge:

Standard roller-table motors repeatedly failed due to high-pressure descale water exposure, causing production delays.

Solution:

Partnering with VEM US, Inc., Hartsock Industrial supplied custom roller-table motors featuring advanced ingress protection, installed during a planned outage with no equipment modifications required.

Results:

Viper Imaging Thermal Cameras: Electric Arc Furnace (EAF)

Industry:

Metals | Technology: Thermal Imaging Systems

Challenge:

Noticing early water leaks in the EAF is critical to preventing dangerous explosions.
Solution:

Hartsock Industrial deployed Viper Imaging infrared cameras to allow operators to continuously monitor the EAF for temperature anomalies.
