roll shop technologies
Inspection, grinding, controls and more.
Precision roll quality, efficient reconditioning, and advanced shop automation—delivered by global experts in roll-shop engineering.
Precision that rolls forward
Integrated inspection, grinding, and automation systems built to extend roll life, reduce downtime, and modernize every stage of your mill operation.
Our roll shop technologies deliver a fully integrated approach to roll inspection, grinding, and automation—designed to maximize precision, minimize downtime, and extend the life of critical mill components. Utilizing advanced non-destructive testing methods such as Eddy-Current, Surface-Wave, and Ultrasonic inspection, these systems accurately detect surface and subsurface roll defects before they impact production. Modernized grinding controls and CNC-based systems enhance operator efficiency, improve surface quality, and support high-throughput environments.
Legacy roll grinders can be fully upgraded through mechanical rebuilds, electrical retrofits, and intelligent automation, bringing new levels of performance and reliability to aging equipment. Combined with a global support network and responsive service capabilities, this comprehensive roll shop solution ensures consistent quality and streamlined operations across all steel and aluminum rolling applications.
platforma oprogramowania
Szybkie i dokładne wykrywanie wad powierzchniowych – wbudowane w proces szlifowania.
System LRI-E to nasza najnowsza technologia wykorzystująca technologię prądów wirowych do wykrywania wad powierzchniowych. Wykorzystuje nasz inteligentny system pozycjonowania sond (IPPS) i platformę LRI. W systemie LRI-E wyniki badań są wyświetlane w czasie rzeczywistym i w większości przypadków kontrola powierzchni prądami wirowymi może być przeprowadzana podczas szlifowania.
Cała nasza linia systemów LRI charakteryzuje się poprawionym prawdopodobieństwem wykrycia, krótszymi czasami kontroli, zwiększoną rozdzielczością prezentacji danych, szybszą instalacją, łatwiejszą kalibracją, mniejszą liczbą części i szybszymi możliwościami skanowania informacji.
Niezawodna kontrola powierzchni, wykrywająca wady, które wizualna inspekcja może przeoczyć.
Tester ET – oparty na technologii prądów wirowych – wykrywa wady powierzchniowe, zapewniając przewagę nad kontrolą wizualną. Współpracuje z systemem pozycjonowania sond (PPS) i naszą platformą LRI. Nasze oprogramowanie LRI stanowi integralną część Testera ET i może wyświetlać dwa główne typy wad: łuszczeń (np. pęknięcia) oraz zmiany twardości i/lub strukturalne (np. ścieśnienia i stłuczenia).

discharge technology (EDT machines)
A next-gen approach to roll texturing—powerful, precise, and proven
In the field of electrical discharge machines (EDT), we have a long track record of proven experience. For over four decades, we have been developing controls and generator technology for EDT/EDM machines. Today, more than 60 EDT machines worldwide are equipped with electrical controls and generators. In the EDT process, which involves thousands of ignitions per second, the surface is roughened on rolls up to 10 tons—used, for example, for sheet metal in automobile construction or for the production of white goods. The innovative concept of our EDT machine eradicates all the known weaknesses of traditional machines.
Tailored finishing machines for every surface
We produce robotic or fixed-station brushing and polishing machines that are tailored to each customer’s needs. Applications include brushing machines to deburr finger holes in beer kegs, weld seam brushing to smooth joints, and polishing machines that ensure final products meet strict visual and consumer quality standards.
and polishing balancing systems
Precision control systems for every grinding application
Our Grinding Process Control (GPC) automatic grinder controls are specially designed to be retrofitted on existing grinding machines and can be mounted on ne grinding machines. This is a modular system capable ( controlling a simple infeed of the grinding wheel to complex grinding cycles.
The GPC is capable of controlling a grinding process infeed of the servo axes and the X, U, and Z axes. The GPC is capable of controlling the C, C1, X, U, and Z axes as well as the caliper and pairs with our roll inspection systems. The GPC is a modular system capable of controlling any profile that the grinder can grind, and is only limited by the grinder's mechanical limitations, and is capable of controlling the U-axis.

The global standard in roll grinding modernization
Over the decades, we have fitted over 1 000 roll grinding machines globally. These include new machines as well as refitting existing machines. No two control systems are the same; thus, we tailor solutions with customized software and we work with all leading roll grinding machine manufacturers to ensure project alignment. Our grinder process control system has stood the test of time and enjoys the status as the industry benchmark. Through our efforts, we modernize grinding machines made by almost all manufacturers. Our track record illustrates our solutions boost efficiency, production volume, and productivity.
Modern performance
Original foundation
We specialize in modernizing and retrofitting existing machine tools, strip mills, and rolling mills, which are frequently upgraded through targeted retrofit measures to enhance performance and extend operational life. In doing so, we often retain your original foundations and machine bases, then update the machine to improve efficiency, production volume, and product quality. In many cases, emissions will be reduced. In principle, you will enjoy a low-cost system that is elevated to the cutting edge of technology. We can carry out modernizations of almost all types of machines—including complete control systems, switchgear, drives and measuring systems as well as mechanical revamps for machine tools. To date, we have over 400 fielded examples of our work in this area—we can help you, too.
and modernization
Smarter roll release decisions, backed by real-time data
The ET Tester—based on Eddy Current technology—detects surface defects, providing an advantage over visual inspection. It works with a probe positioning system (PPS) and our LRI platform. Our LRI software is an integrated part of the ET Tester and can display two main types of defects, spalls, (e.g. cracks) and hardness and/or structural changes (e.g. pinches & bruises).
