A plate flatness meter based on the laser moire method was developed. A large grating is installed above a plate transfer line, a laser beam is directed through a concave lens onto the plate on the transfer line. Moire fringes that conform to the surface profile of the plate are formed on the plate. The flatness of the plate as i t is transferred can be measured to a high accuracy of +l. ODD( 2...
