Zusammenfassung:Methods and apparatus for monitoring and conditioning strip material are disclosed. A disclosed example method includes coupling a feedback unit to a first material conditioner. The first material conditioner includes a first sensor and a second sensor, where the first and second sensors are located along a width of a first material moving through the first material conditioner, a first adjustable backup bearing and a second adjustable backup bearing. The disclosed example method also includes mapping the first sensor to the first adjustable backup bearing, where the first sensor corresponds to a first longitudinal zone located along a width of the first moving material. The disclosed example method also includes mapping the second sensor to the second adjustable backup bearing, where the second sensor corresponds to a second longitudinal zone located along the width of the first moving material, and where the feedback unit is couplable to a second material conditioner different than the first material conditioner.
