Abstract
There is provided a roller for continuous monitoring of the profile of a strip consisting of a rotary tubular wall (4), to which the strip is applied, and at least one series of pick-ups (2) substantially aligned parallel to the axis of the tubular wall (4). The pick-ups (2) are placed in housings (43) made in the tubular wall (4) with an opening at least in the interior face of the tubular wall. The pick-ups of each series are mounted on a straight support bar (3) centered upon the mean direction of the pick-ups of each series, the bars (3) being applied against the interior face (45) of the wall (4) by detachable fixing means. The device is particularly useful for monitoring the planarity of rolled metal sheets.
