Steeltec integrates the 4D EAGLE S measuring system
Steeltec AG, a renowned Swiss producer of high-quality steel, has successfully commissioned the state-of-the-art 4D EAGLE S measuring system developed by KOCKS and LAP at its rolling mill in Emmenbrücke.
The advanced system, installed behind the existing KOCKS Reducing & Sizing Block (RSB®) is fully operational, ensuring precision in both profile measurement and surface inspection for rounds with diameters ranging from 16.0 mm to 66.0 mm and hexagonal dimensions ranging from 17.7 mm to 62 mm.
The installation of the 4D EAGLE S marks a step forward for Steeltec in improving the accuracy and efficiency of its rolling processes. The system captures comprehensive data of the rolled steel bars’ profile and surface in real-time, feeding the results into the SMART CORE X software for immediate display and further analysis. This allows Steeltec’s operators to continuously monitor product dimensions and surface quality throughout the entire rolling process, ensuring superior quality assurance.
Developed to perform reliably in the challenging environment of rolling mills, the 4D EAGLE S combines cutting-edge laser technology with modern software solutions. The system allows Steeltec to optimize production processes by closely monitoring the rolled material's quality. This not only improves product consistency but also supports the company's commitment to sustainability and innovation in steel production. The company focuses primarily on value-added products for demanding applications in the automotive industry.
With the integration of the 4DEAGLE S, Steeltec is further strengthening its ability to meet the high demands of its customers and solidifying its position as a key player in the European steel market. For KOCKS and LAP, it marks another successful commissioning of the jointly engineered measuring gauge for long products and paves the way for continued innovation in precise profile and surface measurement.
