An important precondition for attaining highest product quality in high-speed production processes in the steel industry is the use of latest measurement and control technologies for hot and cold-strip production. High availability and reproducible measuring results ensure a high level of process stability necessary for fully continuous operation. This presentation shows basic and new measurement technologies in hot and cold rolling mills. The following products will be presented: • Slab dimension measurement • Slab surface inspection system • Heavy plate measurement of mechanical dimension and shape • High-energy X-ray system for thickness and profile measurement • Edge-crack detection for high speed hot and cold rolling mills • Measurement of thin oil layer thickness • Quality management system for integrated steel mills The measuring systems in this presentation shall be seen as high-tech solutions in the field of rolling mill technololy. Together with optimised process models, control loops and actuators, they are the main requirements for optimum product quality. Interconnected quality management systems enable optimisation across the complete production process.
