Profile measurements with a portable system
CALIPRI RCx makes it possible to precisely measure profile deviations between rolling stands – without cooling down, on the
rolled product while it is still hot.
The portable and fast system eliminates the need to cut and cool down samples, allowing for quick and accurate roll configuration.
The contactless laser technology ensures rapid achievement of high-quality standards for steel manufacturers.
The portable measurement system CALIPRI RCx is specifically designed for inspecting rolled steel profiles and can also be used on still-hot profiles. They not only facilitate the development and introduction of new steel profiles into production but also enable quick production tool changes between models.
Utilizing non-contact laser light sectioning technology, CALIPRI RCx enables steel producers to rapidly achieve high dimensional quality standards. This portable solution supports quick tooling changes between profile types and precisely identifies issues within specific forming operations.
CALIPRI RCx can be used between rolling and forming stations to acquire in-process measurements of hot rolled profiles and compare them swiftly to original targets. Measurements are instantly displayed on a wireless tablet PC. By eliminating the need to cut and cool down samples for inspection, the CALIPRI RCx accelerates the conversion process for new profiles and provides far more detailed information than traditional methods, allowing for more accurate rolling tool adjustments.
For cross-section measurements, instant analysis, rolling stand calibration, and sample testing of both hot and cold beam cross sections, steel manufacturers depend on CALIPRI RCx.
