Abstract

This paper presents a laser based flatness gauge and how it can be integrated in steel and metal production lines. The reasons why flatness measurement is important are explained, the aim with and benefits from flatness measurements brought to light. We describe the laser line triangulation principle and Shapeline systems’ strengths compared to competing techniques in terms of robustness and performance. We discuss what kind of clear and immediately usable information the operator should see in real time, and also information analyzing the results for longer term purpose. Finally, based on some 75 customer cases, we describe benefits, quantitative as well as qualitative and give some examples from real customer cases.
