Rollmate Key Features
- Inspects rolls of any alloy, forged and cast.
- Detects surface and sub-surface defects, core-shell disbond, and soft spots (bruises).
- Surface crack detection, in all orientations, as smallas 0.1mm in depth.
- Provides measurement of shell thickness.
- Expert system to monitor performance and estimate remaining life.
- Insensitive to roll magnetism.
- Fully automated, installs on any grinder
Rollmate is designed to be integrated on any grinder. The actuator can be part of the instrumentation cabinet and installed as one piece, or can be separated from the instrumentation and mounted at any angle on the roll.
The system has negligible operation and maintenance costs, and can be fully automated requiring no human intervention.
Innerspec Technologies’ patented inspection technique uses a multi-channel sensor array to perform simultaneous detection of defects on the surface and subsurface of the roll, detect core-shell disbond, measure shell
thickness, and detect soft spots (bruises) in one pass.
Rollmate is an automated inspection solution for inspecting metallic mill rolls of any alloy, forged and cast.
The results are presented in easy-to-understand C-Scan defect maps and bar graphs. All the results and statistics are stored in a database together with other roll details. An optional Expert System can be used to monitor roll performance and estimate remaining life.
The inspection is performed during the grinding process with no additional cycle time. The system provides continuous, real-time feedback of the condition of the roll while grinding, permitting removal of as little material as possible while guaranteeing a defect-free roll.
