Roll Force Measurement system

Product catalog summary

Product Overview
The Roll Force Measurement and Control System by BLH and Nobel Weighing Systems, brands of VPG Process Weighing, is designed to enhance productivity in rolling mills. It offers increased roll life, prevents mill overloads, improves product quality, reduces downtime, and simplifies retrofitting.

System Design and Features
The RFS-4 system is engineered for high accuracy and easy installation, suitable for both new and existing mills. It provides continuous monitoring of roll separating force and differential forces, eliminating temperature-induced drift. Key features include total and differential measurement, metal-in-the-mill and overload alarms, analog and digital data outputs, a modern user interface, advanced digital filtering, and synchronized sampling.

Extensometers for Hot Rolling Mills
Extensometers measure strain in mill posts, calibrated in strain rather than load, and are optimal for a range of 33 to 130 microinches per inch. They integrate the mill housing into the measuring system, allowing balanced force measurement and easy upgrades during maintenance.

Custom Made Load Cells
Custom load cells for the RFS-4 system are designed for hot and cold rolling mills, offering high accuracy and repeatability. They can be integrated into new mills or replace existing load cells.

Instrumentation and Configuration
The RFS-4 system uses the G4 instrument with specialized software for roll force measurement. Each extensometer or load cell connects to a measurement channel, providing accurate force readings on both sides of the mill.
