Reduction of costs through Roll Works is substantial (please see - without consideration of Roll
Works Optimizer -
Confirmation of voestalpine Stahl Linz).
 |
Roll Works Communication Center The Communication Center
is the central unit to communicate with external and Roll Works internal components. For
additional information please see here. |
 |
Roll Works Database Database system where all the data
(from grinding machine, plants, manual inputs, etc.) are stored. Oracle and Microsoft
SQL Server are supported. |
 |
Roll Works Automation This system ensures all the rules
for roll handling defined by the roll shop people to be used during grinding transfers
concerning commands to Communication Center. For additional information please see
here. |
 |
Roll Works Optimizer The Grinding Optimizer is a Learning
Machine which automatically calculates and transfers to the grinding machine parameter sets
to optimize grinding in the context of stock removal performance, roll surface quality, wheel
wear, etc. For additional information please see here. |
 |
Roll Works Explorer This is the front end application of the
Roll Works System. It allows investigations on historical data (statistical reports up to
detailed measurement and grinding parameter values), online views of machine states and manual
inputs of base data and settings for grinding. For additional information and screenshots
please see here. |
 |
Machine Control The intrinsic control of the grinding machine
supplied by the manufacturer. |
|
 |
Roll Works Comm Interface Integration of the Roll Works Communication
Interface in the machine control. |
|
 |
PLC Here the software for all movements of the machine axis
is implemented. |
 |
Roll Works Grinder Components Modules of the Roll Works
System supplied by btec which require additional hardware components, e.g. Embedded PCs,
antennas, sensors, etc., to be installed per grinding machine. |
|
 |
Roll Works Vibration Monitor System for detecting and alerting on
vibration occurrences which are dangerous to affect roll surface quality badly. For
additional information please see here. |
|
 |
Roll Works Wheel Detection System to identify wheels and so be able
to capture wheel installation periods correctly and calculate report on them with a very
high data base quality. Barcode technology can be used as well as RFID depending on
the type of used wheels. |
|
 |
Roll Works Roll Detection This RFID based system detects rolls
automatically and can be used to automate nearly every roll handling procedure. It also
ensures that report calculations are based on valid data. |
|
 |
Roll Works Data Acquisition In many cases it's not only interesting
which values are entered by the operator (the collection of this is of course part of
Roll Works) but also real physical values appeared on the machine. This system acquires
values like wheel pressure, wheel speed, wheel infeed, roll speed, etc. and allows
detailed investigations of machine behavior. |
