  • Apparatus for measuring the flatness of a strip in movement
    Patent number: 6212960
    Abstract: The apparatus has a measuring roller (10, 10i) which comprises independent peripheral regions deformable by compression. The sensors (13, 13i) are fixed to and associated with the deformable peripheral regions of the roller in order to detect the deformation thereof under the effect of the strip and to provide signals in dependence on the deformation. A utilization circuit receives the signals of the sensors in order to derive data and control signals therefrom.
