Abstract

A method of measuring the thickness of long sheet material wound on to a reel spool while being pressed by a reel drum, includes: measuring the increase in the roll diameter of the wound roll formed from the long sheet material in a non-contact manner; measuring the number of rotations of the reel spool; and determining the thickness of the long sheet material by calculation using the measured increase in the roll diameter and the number of rotations.
