The production of continuous products in the form of bands requires a non-stop measurement of the product's thickness to make sure that given tolerances are met and to immediately influence the production process if they are not. The Lepton thickness measuring systems are designed to be integrated into the production line to provide online data for process control and quality management.

The thickness measurement is based on the principle of laser triangulation. The thickness of the product is calculated from distance measurements taken synchronously from the top and the underside of the product.

Advantages:
non contact, online thickness measurement
independency from type of material
high precision
