Non-contact measurement of thickness and width of coils (thickness 0.5 to 20mm)
Hot and cold strip are processed by steel service centers that use a variety of different methods. In slitting lines, for example, extremely wide coils weighing up to 40t are split into several narrow rings. After the slitting process, either the MTS 8201.T, MTS 8201.LLT, MTS 8202.T or MTS 8202.LLT system (depending on the precision required, the material width and the vertical material movement) measures the thickness profile. Working in combination with the MWS 8203.LLT system, even the width of each ring cut can be determined.
Advantages:
-
Documentation of thickness profile and width for every coil / strip
-
Documentation of detailed length information
-
Completely non-contacting and wear-free measurement (emission-free)
-
Robust construction
Material parameter:
-
Width up to 4000mm (6000mm as an option)
-
Thickness <1mm bis 200mm
-
Accuracy from ±5μm

The systems of the MTS 8201 family are designed as C-frames and O-frames with application specific sensor technology.
MTS 7202.T
The MTS 7202.T is equipped with Micro-Epsilon optoNCDT LL (laser line) sensors, where the oval point-shaped laser beam is widened to a small line via a special cylindrical lens. The received reflected light is averaged using a special software algorithm. The interference caused by shiny metal is completely filtered out.
The series offers two different precision classes, both based on the laser triangulation technology, and comes with several measuring ranges and two measurement widths.
Due to the high measurement rate the clamp is ideally suited for dynamic processes. A fully-automatic in-situ calibration ensures the measurement to be independent from temperature influences, thus the system can be applied in harsh industrial environments being characterised by permanently providing inline precision.
Features:
-
Accuracy from ±1.2µm
-
Measuring range up to 50mm
-
Measuring width up to 500mm
-
Measuring rate up to 49kHz

MTS 8202.LLT(CFK)
The MTS8202.LLT CFK C-frame system made from CFRP is the perfect complement to the MTS 8202 series, when large strip widths needed to be inspected with C-shaped measurement technology in metal processing applications. The rigidity of the system enables maximum precision measurement in rolling mills and service centers. Due to its low weight, the C-frame system is ideally suited to flexible use at different measuring points in the rolling process. The high lateral resolution of the laser line enables geometrical thickness measurement of fluted or checker plate, measurement of gap widths, as well as the accurate measurement of the profile on the edge of the strip. These are characteristics that are impossible to measure using conventional isotope or X-ray equipment, due to the size of the measuring spot.
Features:
-
Linearity ±5µm
-
Measuring rate up to 2kHz

MTS 8201.T
The MTS 8201.T is designed as O-frame and significantly impresses by large material width and stability as well as high precision in the thickness measurements. The system is equipped with laser triangulation sensors allowing extreme fast measurements. Applying the MTS 8201.T in rolling mills and Service Centers provides reliable measurement results in high precision and thus creates the basis for controlling the production process and eventually the quality achieved. The inspection system is designed as a stable O-frame structure and has a traversing apparatus with upper and lower flange which are mechanically coupled with each other.
Features:
-
Linearity from ± 4 µm
-
Measuring ranges up to 20mm
-
Measuring rate up to 20kHz

MWS 8203.LLT
The operating principle of the dimensionCONTROL MWS 8203.LLT system is based on laser line triangulation scanners (i.e. profile sensor technology) that provide extremely high lateral resolution and therefore the required precision can be achieved. The highly dynamic positioning of two profile sensors at the edges of the strip to be measured enables high precision width measurements. These sensors measure the width synchronously using the distance measurement between both sensor positions. In the case of large widths, thermal expansion plays an important role and is compensated for by using an innovative concept that prevents the precision of the measuring systems being influenced by the width of the material to be measured. The 2D profile sensor not only recognizes the strip edge, but also knows the height information, enabling the sensor to account for possible tilting of the metal strip.
Characteristics:
-
Accuracy ±20µm
-
Working in combination with the thicknessCONTROL MTS 8201.LLT thickness measurement system, the upper thickness sensor can also be applied as a width sensor.

Fully automatic surface inspection of painted automobile attachments
A perfectly painted surface is every car's staple feature. Thus the quality requirements for painted parts attached to the car body are the same as with the body itself. Objective inspection is possible with the reflectCONTROL PSS 8005.D robot-assisted inspection system for large and complex attachments such as bumpers. The defects are measured laterally and in depth and classified on the basis of catalogs and optionally marked during robot-based inspection with the automationCONTROL 8005 PSS 8005.M system using ATENSOR-LS1 technology*. This way, follow-up work and process improvements can be performed precisely as required and easily.
Benefits:
-
Objective 100% inspection of all vehicles manufactured
