Rolling Ingot Dimension Measuring System
Rolling Ingot Dimension Measuring System
Rolling ingots are usually produced in an ingot casting process, resulting in high-quality ingots with precise dimensions. Nevertheless, it is still necessary to prepare these ingots for the actual rolling process.
The rolling ingot dimension measuring system records the exact dimension of an ingot in real time, continuously and without contact as it passes through. The system uses the laser light section method, in which lasers scan the surface of the ingot from all four sides. A detailed profile of the surface is created through precise measurement of the reflected laser beams. This data makes it possible to determine the dimensions of the ingot with great precision. The results are processed and logged immediately, ensuring seamless quality control. The so-called rolling skin of the ingot surfaces is removed by a peeling / milling process, and the head and side surfaces are trimmed to the final dimensions required by an edge cut.
After subsequent heating / homogenisation in deep and / or pusher furnaces, the rolling ingots are fed to the further rolling process.

…These are particularly impressive due to their long service life and constant performance.
Our measuring systems allow our customers to always be one step ahead of the competition.
Our motto of “Precision out of passion and quality out of conviction” is the decisive criterion for the development of our high-precision measuring systems, many of which have been and still are world firsts.
To be allowed to actively support this pioneering spirit for more than 30 years, as well as our passion for precision, is a challenge anew for me every day, which continues to motivate and inspire me even after all these years.
For me, it’s not enough to just talk about the matter. You have to speak to the people and therefore it is my personal goal to guide you through the buying process with the quality of my advice and my support, to develop with you exactly the measuring system that is right for your specific measurement tasks and that has been specially tailored to your individual application.”
