STM – Shapemeter for strip flatness measurement

Metal strip flatness measurement system - Sectional strip tension meter - Shapemeter roll (Shape-roll, Measuring-roll). Type: STM

Product description

Shapemeter is designed for evaluating of metal strip flatness in cold rolling mills. The principle of the flatness evaluation is based on measuring of pressure forces of a metal strip in the multiple zones of the measuring roll deflector. A visual unit displays measured flatness and tensions across the strip in real time on monitor in the form of a column and flat graphical mapping.

Defects occuring during the rolling process

Advantages

  • flatness display in I-units
  • strip tension distribution display in Newtons
  • measuring the flatness and the spread of the tensile force from zero speed of the strip
  • measuring the total tensile force of the strip
  • no mark on the strip thanks to small bending angle 5°-10°
  • affordably priced measuring equipment
  • simple construction for maintenance and calibration

Features

  • custom built measuring roll with sensitive measuring zones
  • industrial PC with visualisation and archiving software
  • data output: PROFIBUS or per customer requirement
  • OEM version without Industrial PC is possible
