Apparatus for measuring stress distribution across the width of flexible strip

摘要

A device for measuring stress distribution across the width of flexible longitudinally moving strip material, such as strip steel during coldrolling. The device includes a deflection measuring roller comprised of a plurality of rotatable sections mounted side-by-side. Some of the sections have force pick-ups fitted therein and the elements cooperatively function to detect and measure deflection as an indication of stress distribution across the strip.
