Precision thickness & width measurement for aluminium processing
Optimised non-contact measurement for cold rolling mills, casting lines and finishing lines. Specialised sensors for reflective aluminium surfaces — from foil to plate.
Casting, rolling, extrusion, surface treatment — quality control for primary producers and downstream processors
Engineered for the unique challenges of aluminium processing. Our solutions find their natural application in dimensional inspection to verify linear dimensions, thickness, wall thicknesses and geometric tolerances such as flatness and concentricity — meeting the industry standards required for product quality and performance.

Thickness & width
Optimised for reflective aluminium surfaces — eliminates specular reflections.
High-speed foil
Measure aluminium foil down to 6 µm at 1000 m/min line speed.
Profile mapping
Full-width profile with edge-drop measurement.
Why aluminium requires specialised measurement
Overcoming the challenges of reflective, soft and thermally sensitive materials
Reflective surfaces
Blue-laser technology eliminates measurement errors from mirror-like finishes and specular reflections.
Thermal expansion
Real-time temperature compensation for accurate width measurement during cooling.
Edge-drop control
Specialised algorithms for aluminium's characteristic edge thinning in rolling.
Surface sensitivity
Non-contact measurement prevents surface marking on soft aluminium alloys.
Aluminium processing lines
Precision metrology, process control and real-time monitoring for every critical stage of the aluminium production lifecycle: electrolytic smelting, casthouses, rolling, extrusion and final surface inspection.
Cold rolling mills
Single-stand reversing and tandem mills for sheet and foil. High-speed thickness and width control.
Casting lines
Direct-chill (DC) casting and continuous casting. Slab and billet dimension measurement.
Finishing lines
Slitting, shearing and cut-to-length lines with precision width and length measurement.
Annealing lines
Post-annealing gauge verification and shape monitoring.
Coating lines
Pre-coating and post-coating thickness measurement for painted aluminium.
Foil rolling
Ultra-thin foil measurement from 6 µm with high-speed pass-line control.
Technology in action
Gauging systems
High-precision inline thickness control
