Patent ID: 7026620

Claim:
A method for the geometric measurement of a material strip ( 2 ) comprising: determining the strip thickness of the material strip at at least one measurement point ( 12 ) in the material strip ( 2 ) by means of a first measuring device, determining the shape and spatial location of the material strip ( 2 ) relative to a reference position by means of a second measuring device, and carrying out a correction of the measured values of the first measuring device by the measured values of the second measuring device, wherein on the surface of the material strip ( 2 ), with the second measuring device being an optical projection device ( 13 ), at least one line is projected, running essentially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the material strip, wherein the projected line is detected by means of a camera ( 14 ), and wherein from a minimum of one line recorded by the camera ( 14 ), the shape and spatial location of the material strip ( 2 ) along the projected line is determined.
