- Category: Thickness solutions
In the high-speed environment of slitting and cutting lines, maintaining dimensional accuracy is critical for product quality and material yield. Profile thickness measurement refers to the continuous, non-contact monitoring of the material’s thickness across its width (the cross-web profile) as it moves through the line. Unlike single-point gauges that measure thickness at only one edge or the center, profile measurement systems utilize laser triangulation, X-ray, or optical sensors that scan the entire strip from edge to edge. This real-time data acquisition serves two vital functions:
