VIP 08 On Line Optical Flatness Measurement and Control System
VIP 08 On Line Optical Flatness Measurement and Control System
The VIP 08 Optical Flatness Measurement System is a recent development for use in the metal producing industry. When the strip tensions are lower than 70 N/mm2 (10 KPSI), it affords the user the ability to measure continuous strip flatness without contact to the strip and [...]
First Isotope Thickness Gauge Application in Mexico
During this past fall, we installed our first two – Model A3000 Isotope Thickness Gauges in Mexico. The application was for stainless steel on a heavy-duty reversing mill with 24/7 operation.
Quality and Yield Optimization on Cold Rolling Mills
In order to accommodate for the high demand in accuracy, quality and yield, it is essential to optimize the existing operating equipment. In the past Vollmer has supplied and been known for their high performance thickness gauges in conjunction with the automation of the screwdown system.

BFI Article shows new design for shape roll measurement
The well-proven BFI version shape measurement roll has undergone a design change that improves its ability to measure the tensions profile on flat product without marking the strip. The detectors have been redesigned to fit into the roll while leaving the surface of the roll completely clear of machined marks. This eliminates the former problems associated with the axially installed sensors.
