KOCKS and LAP expand the 4D EAGLE S portfolio
A year after the successful market launch of the joint measuring systems known as 4D EAGLE S, LAP Measurement Technology GmbH and KOCKS Measure + Inspect GmbH & Co. KG are expanding their product portfolio for the steel industry. The new 4D EAGLE S 50 model adds a high-precision laser measuring system for long products with small diameters to the series. This new product was officially launched for global sales at AISTech 2025, held from May 5 to 8 in Nashville, USA.
Laser measurement technology for dimensions up to 50 mm
The 4D EAGLE S 120 model is designed to measure diameters from 10 to 140 mm. In contrast, the 4D EAGLE S 50 model measures smaller diameters, ranging from 4.5 to 50 mm. Producers of long steel products now have access to this advanced laser measurement technology for an even wider range of hot measurement applications. By expanding their product lineup, the collaborating partners are reinforcing their commitment to offering pioneering products that ensure comprehensive quality assurance in the rolling process over the long term.
Integrated profile measurement and surface inspection
The 4D EAGLE S systems integrate advanced laser measurement technology for profile assessment with intelligent software for surface classification, creating a powerful solution. Utilizing the laser light section method, these systems accurately capture the complete profiles of rolled products while identifying and classifying various rolling defects. Incorporating high-resolution surface inspection technology allows for the real-time detection of even the smallest surface defects. The SMART CORE X analysis software offers rolling mills extensive evaluation and visualization tools, facilitating seamless quality assurance and targeted process optimization.
Future-proof solution with scalable technology
Every new 4D EAGLE S 120 and 4D EAGLE S 50 system comes standard with surface inspection and classification functions. The 4D EAGLE S offers various expansion stages, thus providing a future-proof solution for comprehensive quality assurance in the rolling process. Thanks to these systems' scalability, both hardware and software can be customized to meet individual requirements, ranging from precise profile measurement to fully integrated surface inspection. This adaptability enhances the system's potential throughout its life cycle, ensuring long-term investment security for rolling mills.
