A practical shape meter to measure the manifest shape of running strip on a hot strip mill line with high accuracy has been developed. Structures and operating results of the meter are reported.
The points of designing were getting good stability of an eddy current type displacement meter, protecting sensor heads and sensor positioning mechanism, and so on. Moreover the following functions were given; automatic sensor positioning, remote calibration of the displacement meter, statistical data processing of steepness data, and communication to a process computer.
From the results of performance in Kakogawa Works, measuring accuracy of ±0.16% in steepness and time between failures more than 100 00 h have been obtained.
