At the present, time is characterized by increasing automation and faster production cycles, thus full automation of technical processes becomes more and more important. The quality demands and the productivity are increasing, simultaneously. Due to this conflict of aims, it is necessary that also quality inspections – today often carried out manually – become integrated in the widely automated production process. This affects the processes in modern roll shops and service centers as well. The integration of a crack detection system within the automatic program cycle of a roll grinder and the fast feedback of the measuring results lead to decreased scrap rates and advanced product qualities. Furthermore roll consumption can be reduced significantly due to less re-grinding operation. In order to meet these special demands for modern roll shops, WaldrichSiegen developed a state-of-the-art roll grinder control with fully integrated crack detection system.
