Linescan cameras inspect steel

Custom design and off-the-shelf components measure the height of steel strips.

In hot strip milling, strips of metal are formed by passing steel between rollers revolving at the same peripheral speed and in opposite directions. To change the shape of the material, the roller-press settings are adjusted such that the material is as flat as possible. This increases the quality when the material is cooled, since water used in the cooling process flows evenly over the material. This results in a high-quality product with low internal stresses.
