light section sensors. These prop- erties ensure the highest accu- racy and a detailed image of the current product quality, even with fast-moving or strongly vibrating material.
The continuous advancement of the systems is not only an impor- tant factor of success, but also the basic philosophy of TBK. The development in the elds of laser and information technology as well as in the analysis of surface to determine the surface condi- tion will remain the basis of TBK’s measurement systems also in the future.
The company founder, Heinz Kotz- muth, passed on responsibility for the management to the two managing directors Ralf Kremer and Ulrich Svejkovsky, but will be available to provide advisory support.

The harsh conditions in steel processing plants pose a huge chal- lenge to measuring technology. Measurement systems made by TBK have matured through years of experience and stand out due to high thermal and mechanical stability. This stability is of crucial importance for the consistency of the measured data and also for the quality of the derived parameters. Further, closed-loop controls have been developed in cooperation with SMS for automatic roll setting to the required adjustment values based on the measurement results. TBK adapts its measurement technology to the customer’s require- ments and prepares tailor-made solutions, if so desired.
TBK’s core competence is the continuous monitoring of ongoing pro- duction processes with focus on the use of tried and tested laser technology. Contactless precision measurements visualize produc- tion processes and permit statistical process controls to be made in a number of variants. TBK’s
activities and services are char- acterized by the highest degree of exibility and customer-ori- entation. The inhouse focus is on research and development work in the eld of contact- less, laser-based contour meas- urement for numerous sectors within the steel industry.
