XR Centreline
Thickness Measuring System
The XR centreline thickness measuring system detects material thickness in the centre of strip by means of continuous, non-contact, real-time measurement.
With this measuring method, a single x-ray source mounted in the roller table underneath the material is used to focus radiation on the measurement area. A detector unit with a task-based number of ionisation chambers is installed above the material to receive the radiation that passes through the material. The ionisation chambers convert this residual radiation into electrical signals, which are then used to calculate and record the exact thickness of the material.

…These are particularly impressive due to their long service life and constant performance.
Our measuring systems allow our customers to always be one step ahead of the competition.
Our motto of “Precision out of passion and quality out of conviction” is the decisive criterion for the development of our high-precision measuring systems, many of which have been and still are world firsts.
To be allowed to actively support this pioneering spirit for more than 30 years, as well as our passion for precision, is a challenge anew for me every day, which continues to motivate and inspire me even after all these years.
For me, it’s not enough to just talk about the matter. You have to speak to the people and therefore it is my personal goal to guide you through the buying process with the quality of my advice and my support, to develop with you exactly the measuring system that is right for your specific measurement tasks and that has been specially tailored to your individual application.”
