Full-width profile
scanning
In this mode the carriage is made to scan in a strip
width direction by a start profile measurement
command, thereby measuring the whole width profile.
The speed of the carriage is 30mm/s on both edges,
and 100mm/s at the center.

エッジ距離
Edge distance
Edge profile
scanning
In this mode the carriage is made to scan in a strip
width direction by a start profile measurement
command, thereby measuring the edge profile.
WS (or DS) edge distance is set beforehand from the
customer's computer.

Center
measurement
This mode measures the center of the strip
continuously in a longitudinal direction.
It is used as backup for AGC thickness gages (center
measurement).

3) Edge Drop Amount
1) Crown Value
Edge drop amount is calculated
Crown value, WS crown value, DS crown value are calculated
from the measurements of center plate thickness, WS side
specified measurement points and DS side specified
measurement points.
Crown values are calculated as follows:
a) Crown value: chi = hc- (hi' + hi'')/2
b) WS crown value: chi' = hc-hi'
from the measured width between
two points specified on the WS side
and DS side.
Calculations are made as follows.
a) WS edge drop amount:
eh' = hj' – hi'
b) DS edge drop amount:
eh'' = hj'' – hi''
c) DS crown value: chi' = hc-hi''
2) Wedge Value
Wedge value is calculated from the measured thickness at WS
side specified measurement points and DS side specified
measurement points.
The formula for calculation is shown below.
Whi = hi'' – hi'
