This Gauge is purpose built to determine the thickness of the hot plate at the Reversing Stand in the Plate Mill.
The Gauge utilizes Class II Laser Triangulation Meters to determine both the thickness of the plate and at the same time to automatically calibrate off a Certified master plate sample that identifies distortions in the Gauge Fame due to ambient and radiant heat changes. In addition, the frame temperature is monitored by implanted thermocouples that are used in the Gauge Controller algorithms. By this means this Gauge automatically compensates for any distortions and provides high-resolution thickness measurement regardless of the effect of such influences.
