Abstract

See full text

Methods and apparatus to monitor conditioning machines are disclosed herein. An example system includes a plurality of work rolls to process a continuous strip material positioned between an entry and an exit of an apparatus. A sensor determines a measured distance between an upper surface of the strip material and a reference location, where the sensor is downstream from the exit of the apparatus. A controller determines a difference value between the measured distance and a predetermined distance to detect material curvature in the strip material.
