Objective The aim of this pilot and demonstration proposal is to develop and to test on- line a prototype of a new generation of optical thickness gauge able to measure the thickness of a plate from 100 to 500 mm with a global uncertainty of 0.1 mm. An optical version of the calliper will be used : two optical range meters are mounted on a O or C frame and measure the distance to the upper or lower surface of the plate relative to their reference support frame. A new generation of phase modulation laser distancemeters allows the use of the same sensor to simultaneously or separately measure the distance to the product and the position of its counterpart on the opposite arm of the mechanical support. This in order to make a calibration between plates and to minimise the main cause of imprecision on the thickness.
