The KELK brand of Vishay Precision Group, Inc. has introduced the ACCUBAND Strip Width Gage Model C775-FF.
Used for cold rolling mill, and processing line applications, the ACCUBAND C775-FF provides steel mill operators with continuous, stereoscopic, non-contact material width measurements.
The width gage includes four CCD cameras to scan steel strips at a rate of 1,000 scans per second in order to accurately locate the position of the edge. The edge data is then combined with the camera separation distance, obtained during calibration, resulting in accurate strip width, and centerline deviation.
The compact design of the ACCUBAND C775-FF allows the width gage to be installed in tight spaces while still providing accurate measurements.
