Description

Vollmer VABL Width & Thickness Contact Gauge System
Complete System with VMF 3/11 and 3/22 Meters

International Rolling Mills is pleased to offer a Vollmer VABL width and thickness contact gauge system — a precision measurement solution originally integrated into a production wire flattening line. This pre-owned contact gauge system delivers reliable strip width and thickness measurement and is available in as-is condition.

Key Features
Manufacturer: Vollmer Feinmeßgerätebau (Germany)
Model: VABL Width & Thickness Contact Gauge
Precision Contact Measurement: Dual transducer LVDT design

Meters Included:
Vollmer VMF 3/11
Vollmer VMF 3/22

Documentation: Full original documentation from Vollmer

Application History:
Previously used to measure 0.200" wide × 0.006"–0.020" thick superconductor wire
Integrated into an in-line production wire flattening line at American Superconductor

Specifications
Max Configured Strip Width: 25 mm
Contact Thickness Measurement: Continuous analog output via dual LVDT transducers
Application Type: Precision strip width and thickness monitoring for strip processing systems

Industry Uses: Rolling mills, strip flattening systems, specialty wire production, metallurgy R&D

This system provides high-resolution width and thickness measurement using contact gauge technology, which remains common in precision strip processing when continuous, stable signals are required.

Included Components
This listing includes:

Vollmer VABL width & thickness contact gauge head
VMF 3/11 meter
VMF 3/22 meter
Original Vollmer documentation and manuals

Together, the gauge head and VMF meters form a complete measurement package capable of integrating into industrial lines or calibration stations.

Compatibility
While VMF 3/11 and 3/22 meters are included, the system can also interface with Vollmer VMF-series measurement amplifiers for expanded calibration, zeroing, and signal conditioning functionality.

Condition
To the best of our knowledge, this gauge system was removed from service in running condition. Contact gauge systems are not our core specialty and we are not currently set up to bench test or certify operation. This equipment is offered in as-is condition.

Value Perspective
Vollmer precision width and thickness contact gauge systems are typically costly to replace. A comparable new system is quoted at approximately $75,000. This pre-owned VABL system represents a significant cost-effective opportunity for precision measurement integration or spare parts.

Applications & Industries
This contact gauge system is well-suited for:

Precision metal strip monitoring
Rolling mill gauge feedback loops
Wire flattening lines
Specialty alloy processing
R&D measurement stations
Calibration and SPC systems

Engineers and integrators seeking reliable contact measurement for thin strip and wire applications will find this Vollmer system a valuable asset.

Available From International Rolling Mills
