Hot mills

Whether in hot strip mills, casting plants or Steckel rolling mills, thickness measurement is one of the central control and quality assurance measures in the rolling process. Micro-Epsilon has perfected optical thickness measurement with the thicknessCONTROL MTS 9202.LLT series. High precision across high thickness variations, as well as robustness against the challenging environmental conditions impress in various measurement tasks in the hot rolling area. Micro-Epsilon offers infrared temperature sensors and displacement sensors for further measurement tasks in the hot rolling area.
