Optical gauges for precise thickness measurements of metals
Thickness measurement of metal strips and plates is possible by using radiometric as well as laser-based measurement methods. In recent years, laser-based thickness measurement has become increasingly important and is equally appreciated in the steel and aluminum industries. This is due to the numerous advantages that laser thickness measurement brings: improved measurement accuracy, all alloys without complex calibration, thin and thick metal strips - and last but not least easy operation without radiation protection measures.
Systems for thickness measurements of metal strips and plates
For thickness monitoring of metal strips and metal plates, Micro-Epsilon offers measuring systems and optical gauges with application-specific sensors. Depending on the model, the systems can be used in cold or hot rolling mills. For traversing bandwidth monitoring, O-frame systems are used, while C-frame systems are used to measure individual tracks.
