U Gauge
Key dimensions like height, width, area, resistivity, temperature and position are measured
in less than one millisecond. Height, width,
position, temperature and gauge status are
communicated via a TCP/IP gateway. The
gateway also includes a web server for data
and maintenance access via standard web
browsers.

Result
The final IDC control configuration can be
optimized to a few strategic positions in the
mill. With an optimized IDC control configuration as described above, a 20 mm round bar
can be rolled to tolerances as below.
