The stereoscopic Width Gauge is a precision measurement device used to determine
the width of sheet or strip products directly during the hot rolling process. This unit is a vision-based, non contact, capable of providing real-time width measurement with
typical accuracy of within +/- 0.5 mm of the effective width. The Width Gauge
determines width by imaging the edges of the slab/plate/strip within the focal depth of the system.
The stereoscopic design feature allows extremely accurate width measurement even if the strip
is moving up or down within the measurement area.
When combined with the VSS (Vision System Software), a significant increase in Yield can be achieved in a very short time.
The width gauge can:
Width gauge will determine the width of the measured part. Together with the Crop Optimization software and Shear Control System it will reduce/manage the Crop Loss.
