Result description
The Roll Profiler system has proven its robustness and reliability to sustain the environment of the down-coilers. It can be used to follow-up the wear of the pinch-roll, a wear model having been developed to assist the prediction of the Roll Profiler.
This measurement could be used as a tool to master the wear. The benefits will be in the optimisation of the start profile and in the change of the pinch-roll. A reduction of the slippage is also anticipated due to a better mastering of the pinch-rolls wear.
In complement for mills with hydraulic pinch-rolls, it can be used with other actuators (tilting, force per side).
Addressing target audiences and expressing needs
- Business partners – SMEs, Entrepreneurs, Large Corporations
The Roll Profiler system is a mature industrial measurment device that has proven its robustness and reliability to sustain the environment of the down-coilers. It allows following-up the wear of the pinch-roll.
Industrial equipment provider and customers in the steel and process industries should be interested in the roll-out of the Roll Profiler system.
- Other Actors who can help us fulfil our market potential
- Private Investors
R&D, Technology and Innovation aspects
The Roll Profiler system is ready to be further implemented in other mills. An industrial equipment provider could be involved in the commercialisation of the device.
