"One prerequisite to achieve higher product quality in high-speed production processes is use of new measurement and control technology. High availability and reproducible measurement results ensure the high process stability needed for continuous operation. The demands on optical measuring systems to optimise quality along the complete production process are discussed. The following are presented: • width measuring systems • edge crack measuring systems • large hole detectors • pinhole detectors • optical strip flatness measuring systems • hot metal detectors. IMS uses “camera cluster systems (CCS)” for all these measurement tasks. These systems comprise multiple high-speed intelligent cameras lined up one after the other in a cluster. By apposing multiple clusters, it is possible to measure foil, strip and plate of varying widths. Apart from the typical fields of application of CCD cameras, the cluster systems are also used in hot metal detectors. This article presents various cases of application as well as the results of existing installations."
