XR Twin Set
Centreline Thickness and Profile Measuring System
Centreline Thickness and Profile Measuring System
The XR Twin Set centreline thickness and profile measuring system detects both strip thickness in the centre of the roller table and the strip thickness cross profile by means of continuous, non-contact, real time measurement. This is achieved with two separate C-frames combined constructively to form one measuring system.
The upper beam of the C-frame contains a task-based number of ionisation chambers to receive the radiation emitted by the x-ray tube installed in the lower beam and which passes through the material.
This residual radiation, which is dependent on the thickness of the material, is converted in the ionisation chambers into electrical signals, which are then used to determine and record the exact thickness of the material.
Gauge 1:
Continuous thickness measurement in the
centre of the roller table
Gauge 2:
Continuous measurement of the strip thickness cross profile by traversing over the entire strip
width

…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.”
