Flatness and Evenness Measuring System
Flatness and Evenness Measuring System
Flatness and levelness 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 levelness.
These systems measure and quantify both flatness and levelness defects in plates, sheets and strips – online or offline.
flatness [I-Unit]
levelness [μm or mm]
optional:
– „box“ height calculation
– calculation of the crossbow
– speed / length measurement with speed laser
– DAkkS certificated standardization straight edge
Special Features
- reliable IMS hardware ensures long-lasting and low-maintenance operation in a compact and lightweight construction
- high-precision measurements on a wide range of material surfaces (from matt to glossy)
- high sampling rates trough embedded FPGA image processing
- measurement insensitive to vertical shift and vibrations
- interface to control systems
- online visualisation of the results and reporting via customised 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.”
