STRIP SHAPE MEASUREMENT

Shape as a quality feature
In the past, the strip thickness tolerance was the essential dimensional quality criterium for strip material. Today, it is a necessity that the strip thickness tolerance satisfies the highest demands. Mills which do not satisfy this criteria, are upgraded immediately.

In addition, the strip shape has become an equally important characteristic in judging the overall strip quality.

The measurement of strip shape is easy. Even though the measurement systems are very complex, their application is almost invisible for the customer. The strip shape is either measured with shapemeter rolls that are installed into the mill in place of the existing deflector rolls or with the non-contact measurement system, detecting the shape via a camera
