Thickness measurement in continuous<br />

cold strip mills<br />

• Thickness is measured by x-ray<br />

gauges while the error in the<br />

thickness following the first stand is<br />

usually fedback to adjust the gap<br />

sitting on the first stand.<br />

• Gauge control in subsequent stands<br />

usually is achieved by controlling the<br />

strip tension through controlling the<br />

relative roll speed in successive stands<br />

or the coiler speed.<br />

• Gauge control through control <strong>of</strong><br />

strip tension has faster response<br />

time than control through change in<br />

roll setting.<br />

sensors<br />

Thickness gauging is achieved<br />

by using two opposing<br />

sensors with laser spots<br />

aimed at opposite sides <strong>of</strong> a<br />

target. The sensor readings<br />

are subtracted from the sensor<br />

separation distance to yield a<br />

real-time thickness<br />

measurement.<br />
