Application Information

For Hot Mills, KELK Accuband Width Gages are available in both infrared sensing (most Hot Strip Mill applications) and backlit (coiler entry) models.

Single camera gages are also available for applications in which stereoscopic measurement is not required, such as slab width and thickness measurement, strip steering, and simple camber determination.

Because Accuband Width Gages are able to keep themselves clean, it is not necessary to locate them in a gage house. They can be mounted on fixed stands or cantilevered over the strip using a post and beam arrangement.

For 'cold' applications, single camera, dual camera monoscopic, and dual camera stereoscopic Accuband models are available, with either front lighting or back lighting to suit each individual installation.

Camber measurements in either hot or cold operations can be made with either a dedicated KELK Camber Gage, or a combination of KELK Accuband gages in a custom configuration.

Whatever the requirement, KELK application specialists will work with the customer to determine the best width or camber measurement solution, options, and mounting arrangement for each application. A full documentation package, including detailed installation drawings, will be provided for consideration.

Long term service contracts are available both directly from KELK and from KELK agents.
