CONTOUR CHECK SHAPE has proven itself in hot rolling of long products and is an essential part of the rolling process in many factories. It checks hot and cold steel profiles with the help of three-dimensional surface reconstruction. Thus, it records geometrical errors due to rolling defects including surface defects like scale seams, shells or roller outbreaks.

The innovation lies in the optimized laser light section sensors which LAP constructs with its own laser technique and high-end industry cameras. Four cameras continously scan an object and form up to 2000 complete profiles per second at the same time. The camera with high-speed image recording captures the laser line while the often still glowing steel enters the measuring field. The laser light section sensors are even able to measure in indentations, corners, and between webs.

Regardless of the profile form (round, square, flat or hexagonal), the CONTOUR CHECK SHAPE supports your production process and verifiably reduces scrap. One additional feature is the precise measurement of rebar whereby measuring values like the contour of the core, the rib height and the weight per meter are accurately calculated.
