Generally, when rolling a plate material such as a steel plate, it is necessary to monitor the width of the plate, and therefore the width of the plate has been measured by a conventional method. In particular, recently developed parallel scanning light beam sources 2. and a light receiver for detecting the brightness or darkness of the light beam passing through the measurement object, and detecting the length of the measurement object from the length of time of the bright part or the dark part of the light beam according to the output of the light receiver. If a speed scanning laser length measuring machine is used, the width of a rolled steel plate can be measured without contact, and it can be applied even when the rolled steel plate is a hot rolled steel plate at a high temperature. However, in general, such laser length measuring machines are
The scanning width is limited, and it is difficult to measure the entire width of a rolled steel plate having a width of about 600 to 1500 fi using only one laser length measuring device. It should be noted that - the laser length measuring machine as described above is used to measure the rolled steel plate near both ends in the direction, i.e.
It is also conceivable that the width of the rolled steel plate could be determined from the position of the side edge of the rolled steel plate output by each laser length measuring machine and the spacing between the laser length measuring machines.675 “・−

In the above embodiment, the partial length measuring unit 16.1
A pair of rotary encoders 32 and 34 were used to detect the position of each partial length measuring unit 16 and 18, respectively, to detect the relative movement between the partial length measuring units. The means for detecting the amount of relative movement is not limited to this, for example, a photoelectric linear scale, a magnetic rotary encoder or a linear encoder, or a partial length measuring unit 1 may be used.
Of course, it is also possible to use a single differential transformer that directly detects the amount of relative movement between 6 and 18.
