  • Device for thickness measurement and method therefor
    Patent number: 9335164
    Abstract: A device and a method for measuring thickness in horizontal strip casting installations for casting strip or sections. A measuring device measures the thickness of the liquid or pasty melt in the mold. The measuring device operates without contact by a laser and an optical sensor that are arranged so that the surface of the liquid or pasty melt is monitored, whereby the thickness distribution over an entire width of the melt is measured. A measuring signal is generated, and a control signal is generated based on the measuring signal in order to control a device for distributing the melt.
