FLATNESS AND EVENNESS MEASURING SYSTEM
Flatness and evenness are decisive key features for the
quality of flat products in the metal industry.
Their measurement and control are therefore important
success factors that help to improve the quality of
the manufactured products and reduce critical factors
such as process disturbances, equipment damage and
scrapping of defective products.
IMS uses the globally unique and patented Camera
Cluster Systems (CCS) for non-contact measurement
of flatness and evenness.
These systems measure and quantify both flatness and
evenness defects in plates, sheets and strips – online
or offline.
Flatness [I-Unit]
Evenness [μm or mm]
optional:
– „box“ height calculation
– calculation of the cross bow
– speed / length measurement with speed laser
– DAkkS certificated standardization straight edge
Special Features
- reliable IMS hardware ensures a long-lasting and low-maintenance operation in a compact and lightweight construction
- high-precision measurement on a wide range of material surfaces (from matt to glossy)
- high sampling rates through embedded FPGA image processing
- measurement insensitive to vertical shift and vibration
- interface to control systems
- online visualisation of results and reporting via customized results interface
…to the verifiability of flatness previously required, your best customer suddenly also needs the exact geometry of the plates to be delivered. Do you now lose the order or is there a possibility to retrofit a measuring system despite the cramped conditions? What advantage does this investment bring me, apart from the fact that it satisfies just this one customer?
Not only in slitting and cut-to-length lines, but also in pickling lines, recoiling lines and inspection lines, it is necessary to meet growing customer demands on product quality. These are challenges that I am confronted with every day and for which we at IMS have developed a product portfolio specially tailored to metal service centres.
We set new standards with our systems and reach new dimensions with our efficient, digital and durable measurement technology. The systems are designed precisely for your application, and with our Life Cycle Partnership you are always on the safe side.”
