Rollprof is a system for the measurement and the storage of profiles (rolls or cylinders).Developed to be used in a workshop environment, the system is accurate and easy to use.Thanks to its small size and battery driving, Rollprof enables to take measurements of profilesat positions almost inaccessible, like annealing furnace rolls, leveler rolls without dismantlethem.The system includes two linear sensors fixed in diametrically opposed positions. They measurediameter variations in profile in relation to distance determined by a measuring wheel put onan axis under the measurement rig.So, we can easily identify the wear zones, the profile irregularities or the positions wheretolerances have been exceeded.Principle:Measuring profiles in relation to distance makes it possible to determine where, and by howmuch, a tolerance has been exceeded : to find wear and determine its source. As the Rollprofinstrument is battery-driven and also small it can be used to take measurements at positionswhere accessibility is very limited, e.g. on rolls in situ on a machine, or inside long tubes orpipes.When the measurements have been made, the instrument is connected to the battery-drivenprinter, or the result can be uploaded to a personal computer for further evaluation or storagewith the aid of the Profile program (also supplied).
