Like all Shapeline systems VeriFlat is based on ShapeCAT, our technology platform as well as SS3, our dedicated flatness measurement software.

What makes VeriFlat unique is its simplicity. A VeriFlat sensor can be up and running in a few hours, requiring only power, an Ethernet link to a PC and line speed information. It is pre-calibrated from factory and maintenance is extremely limited.

To keep the project time – and cost down, the sensor has standard software, configurable by the customer. Communication with Level 1 and Level 2 is done over Ethernet, TCP/IP and there are also input and output signals for control and automation.

Since the sensor is compact and rigid, it can easily be attached to a linear guiding unit to become a scanner. The scanner can be used where the material is not moving, such as in a measurement station or in a line where the strip is stopped and the tension released.

Applications include all type of strip process lines and blanking (cut-to-length) lines. The gauge can for instance measure incoming strip shape, control tension levelers, act as gap-guard for electro galvanizing and be used for quality assurance. Due to its simplicity and integration, a VeriFlat can easily be moved between lines or be used for testing.
