Measuring the flatness of rolling trains for aluminium

A rolling stand for rolling a hot aluminium strip, having at the outlet side, in this order, a trimming device that cuts the metal strip from both sides such that only the remaining central region of the metal strip is fed to the downstream devices; a front deflection roller that deflects the metal strip away from a direct connecting line between the rolling stand and the rear deflection roller; a measuring assembly that has a mechanical excitation device that excites the metal strip to mechanically oscillate in the direction of its thickness and a measuring device that senses, for a plurality of regions of the metal strip lying adjacent to one another in the direction of the width of the metal strip, the amplitude of the excited mechanical oscillation of the respective region; and a coiling device that has a rear deflection roller upstream of a coiler.
