Measuring system for rolls and passes
CaliView® measuring system
CaliView® is a system for inline measurement of the rolls and passes in seamless tube mills. It is a flexible solution for Premium Quality Finishing (PQF®), Multi Purpose Milling Machines (MPM), stretch-reducing mills (SRM), Precision Sizing Mill (PSM®), sizing mills, piercers, and tool shops.
CaliView® uses a camera to quickly and precisely measure the stands in a rolling mill so they can be aligned optimally. What sets the system apart is that it measures the rolls and passes to the pass line inline, making it possible to exactly assess the passes with the rolls installed in the mill for the first time. Here is how it works: A camera measures the alignment of the rolls – quick, simple, and in a contact-free way. According to a subsequent analysis of the measurement results, the rolls are aligned to optimize the pass to the pass line.
Benefits
- Fast, precise, and contact-free inline measurement of all stands in the mill
- Visibility of the alignment of the rolls to the pass line
- Direct feedback via the mobile control device allows roll adjustment during measurement
- Identification of work-roll wear to ensure the maximum lifetime of the rolls
- Data-based system to draw up statistics enabling short maintenance times
