Thickness measurement in hot rolling mills

Thickness measurement is one of the most important measurement tasks in hot rolling mills. With the O-frame and C-frame thicknessCONTROL MTS 820x and MTS 920x series, Micro-Epsilon offers high precision measurement systems. Based on laser triangulation technology that uses a discrete laser line, these systems offer numerous advantages over alternative measurement technologies.

Special features:

• Material-independent measurements
• Alloy-dependent calibration is not necessary
• Robust for harsh environmental conditions due to protection against emulsion, steam and high temperatures
• Large sensor distance with high precision
• High lateral resolution enables precise edge detection
• Flexible software and hardware enable easy integration to the rolling mill
