The thicknessCONTROL MTS 8202.K is an optical thickness gauge for cold rolling mills, using confocal chromatic sensor technology to measure thickness, center thickness, and cross-profile with accuracies down to ±0.4 µm and repeatability of ±0.3 µm for the 250 mm measuring width variant. It supports material temperatures up to 70 °C without additional cooling, features a data rate up to 6.5 kHz, and accommodates measuring angles up to 48° for tilted materials. Integrated calibration compensates for thermal effects within seconds. The system includes the thicknessCONTROL MTS software suite for control, analysis, and integration into production lines.
Thickness measurement for control and quality inspection is at many positions and is an important element in the process landscape of cold rolling mills. Common places of application for thicknessCONTROL MTS 8202.K systems for detecting the center thickness or the cross-profile are strip entry or exit of pickling lines with tandem mills, reversing mills as well as finishing lines. The systems are equipped with confocal chromatic sensors that enable high-precision thickness gauges with accuracies down to ±0.3 µm. Confocal technology provides high data rate, ideal suitability for reflective surfaces, tolerance of tilted materials and integrated calibration to compensate for thermal effects within seconds.
