Objective

The flatness is for the customer and the plate manufacturer an essential part of plate quality.
Improvement of process models and plant control affords steady measurement of achieved flatness at mill exit, but the equipment required is not available. The purpose of this project is to develop, realize, install in the rolling line of a plate mill, and validate an industrial pilot plant providing a quantitative measurement of plate flatness directly after hot rolling; this value will be fed into the process control systems.
