VSL/VSS systems
Roll measuring devices used either during grinding on the grinding machine or for offline measurement complete the Vollmer product spectrum for cold rolling.
Vollmer offers VSL/VSS systems for fully automatic roll measurement during dressing on the grinding machine, and traversable straddle gauges which are placed onto the roll for offline measurement.
VSL/VSS
The gauges from the VSL/VSS Series measure the form, diameter, roundness and eccentricity of the rolls during the grinding process with very high precision. Form, radial run-out and eccentricity are measures with a precision of ± 1 µm.
If an interface is available, they communicate online with the controller of the roll grinding machine and thus enable even more cost-effective use of the grinding machine.
With the appropriate configuration, they measure the height and lateral alignment of the roll in the grinding machine before grinding, often enabling the set-up time to be significantly reduced.
Vollmer produces the automatic roll measuring gauges for both bench-mounted machines where the roll is moved along the grinding wheel and for support machines where the grinding wheel is moved along the rotating roll. Vollmer supplies the systems for a broad spectrum of roll diameters.
