Non-contact thickness measurement of steel strip

LAP measurement systems determine the thickness of sheet metal and strip steel during ongoing production.

Annealed strip steel is characterized by various technical properties. To meet the complex requirements of the industries, we offer a smart solution.

Precise verification of sheet metal thickness and thickness profile

With LAP measurement systems, you monitor your production and measure the exact thickness of your flat products. The frames are easy to integrate into the production line, make an essential contribution to your quality assurance, and increase your productivity.

Independent of measuring range and depths, the thickness measurement gauges provide precise measurements on almost all materials.

What can you measure with our systems?

Strip thickness

Edge thickness

Thickness profile

Thickness measurement of LAP detects wedges and camberings of sheet metal and strip steel.

Your benefits

Material independence

Regardless of the composition of the material, you'll get accurate measurement results at a measurement rate of up to 4 kHz.

Safety

LAP measurement systems replace radiometric procedures so no radiation regulations have to be complied with.

Improved product quality

Our system instantly identifies short-term events such as roll eccentricity, welds, or rolling marks so you can take corrective action early.

Services

Consulting

We advise you from ideation phase through the system design to the optimization of the ongoing operation. We will accommodate the regulations and standards for your business, your special requirements, and the economic conditions.

Project management

We cooperate with you to create a project plan and we synchronize our actions to suit your time frame. We provide the engineering, production, installation and commissioning as scheduled.

Installation

Before installation, we always test your system at our site. We coordinate the installation date with you to minimize or completely avoid downtimes. Integration into your production environment is then completed quickly and easily.

Commissioning

We start up your new measuring or projection system in the real production environment. In doing so, we handle the fine-tuning and carry out all tests necessary for acceptance.

Maintenance

We ensure that your system delivers the desired performance for years to come. You receive software updates and information about technology and service, andin addition to that, we offer cyclical inspection and maintenance of our systems.

Repairs

Our worldwide service and partner network supports you anytime, anywhere. Troubleshooting is supported by remote access or local evaluation. Depending on the system, repairs will be carried out on-site or at LAP.
