A non-contact, non-optical measurement system, the Millmate Strip Scanner determines the edge positions of a metal strip in a rolling mill down to millimeter resolution. It measures the width of the strip and indicates off-center deviation with equal definition. These measurements can be used to provide critical input to other mill functions, such as flatness control and center position control (cpc).
