HotProfiler
Overview
The HotProfiler is a multi-axis mill gauge designed to measure the true profile of round, square, hexagon or flat hot rolled bars. The gauge is also suitable for installation on any rolling mill or inspection line for continuous product profile measurement.

Operating Principle
The HotProfiler uses the laser triangulation principle; 18 laser sensors are mounted on a circular base plate with the lasers directed to the centre of the wheel. The wheel oscillates through an arc of ± 150 degrees. Each laser precisely measures the distance to the hot bar. The HotProfiler has a patented algorithm ensuring that the movement of the object in the measuring field does not affect the measuring accuracy.
Applications
- Hot rolled round, square, hex or rectangle sections – full profile measurement
- Cold round tube diameter & ovality inspection – complete cross section profile
- Measurement of cold round or square bars for final inspection
- Measurement of hot blooms and billets
