EMG SORM
EMG SORM is a state-of-the-art measuring system based on the confocal chromatic principle and is suitable for both online roughness and online waviness measurement of surfaces. It delivers precise, fast and non-contact roughness and waviness measurements calculated in accordance with the definitions of DIN EN 10049 and the SEP 1941 testing sheet. This makes EMG SORM® an indispensable tool for quality control and ensuring the surface condition of cold-rolled flat steel products. Thanks to its versatility, it can be used for different surface structures without adjustments and ensures reliable measurements at a production speed of up to 350 m/min.
