PARALIGN®

roll alignment - now faster and more precise!



 

New !!
PARALIGN is a new roll alignment system that uses inertial measurement technology for the very first time. It furnishes the maintenance technician with reliable graphical and numerical information for the necessary corrective measures.
Well-aligned rolling mills

  • improve product quality
  • increase machinery availibility
  • decrease the probability of production loss
 

Innovative !!
PARALIGN does not use conventional measurement principles:
  • No optical procedures (theodolite, optical datum line) beam, bending mirror, etc.)
  • No geometrical procedures (spirit level/micrometer or plumb line/piano wire)
 
Better !!
  • Greater accuracy and better reproducibility
  • Shorter measuring times
  • Graphical depiction of the roll alignment
  • Automatically created documentation of measurements and alignments and individual corrective steps
 
Tried and tested !!
PARALIGN has been optimized to the production stage over two years of field testing and has proved itself in many sectors of industry including:
  • Paper industry
  • Plastic industry
  • Steel and metal industry
  • Conveyer systems

     
 Advantages of PARALIGN
  • Ready to measure in a few moments
  • Short measuring times (i.e. 15 rolls in approx. 30 minutes) = shorter machine downtimes = reduced loss of production
  • Resolution of 4µm/m (4µrad) !!
  • No line-of-sight required to and between the rolls
  • Simple operation, minimum space requirement
  • Operator-independent measurement results
  • Graphical measurement report + documentation
