Abstract
Optical beams from lasers are directed towards the middle and edges of a hot rolled steel sheet by fixed mirrors and rotatable mirrors which allow for different sheet widths. The points of incidence of the beams are observed by photodiode cameras whose receiving axes are orientated by fixed mirrors and rotatable mirrors so that the points remain in the respective fields of observation of the cameras. The levels of the points are obtained by triangulation and are used in the calculation of the planarity of the sheet.
