Austria-based giant engineering and plantmaking company Siemens VAI Metals Technologies (Siemens VAI) has announced the augmentation of its portfolio for online flatness measuring systems for cold rolled strip in steel and aluminum rolling mills with its new flatness measuring system, Siroll Heavy Duty Shapemeter.

Siemens said in a statement, "The new system is an enhanced version of the tried-and-tested Air Bearing Shapemeter family and enables measurement of cold rolled strips with a thickness of up to 5.5 mm. The system can be adapted flexibly to a wide range of end products and varying production conditions."

"With the heavy duty version of the Siroll Shapemeter, Siemens VAI is extending upwards the range of strip thicknesses accessible to flatness measurements. Whereas the previous Shapemeter systems were designed for cold rolled strip of between 0.005 mm and 4 mm, the Heavy Duty Shapemeter handles thicknesses of between 0.05 mm and 5.5 mm. As is the case with the other systems, strips with a width of up to three meters can be measured," Siemens added.
