Non-contact measurement systems for quality assurance of steel profiles

With LAP laser measurement systems you determine the dimensions of your steel profiles without contact during the rolling process and receive the measurement results in real time.

LAP offers laser-based measurement systems for quality assurance and control of complex and diverse steel profiles. Ensure high productivity by checking dimensions and surface quality of your goods with less cost.

Optimisation of manufacturing processes to meet customers' individual requirements

When manufacturing profiles made of steel and non-ferrous metals, it is important to continuously monitor the entire dimensions and the profile cross-section during the rolling process. The more information you have about the dimensions, the more effectively you will produce.

LAP measurement systems help you meet the given product requirements, they immediately alert you to tolerance violations, and provide reliable documentation. Optimize your process control with us and sustainably increase your product quality and, with it, the satisfaction of your customers.

Your benefits

Less scrap

By permanently monitoring the profile geometry, you demonstrably save material and benefit from lower reworking costs.

Proven quality

All measurement data is stored in a database. This allows you to retrieve and verify relevant dimensions, angles or lengths for the products of batches already produced at any time.

Seamless integration

Our measuring frames and the PC-based system can be easily connected to the master computer. Users can intervene optimally in the ongoing rolling process in the sense of Industry 4.0.

Measurement systems for your rolling mill

CONTOUR CHECK ROUND & EDGE

Measures profiles within a measuring range of 45-500 mm and more, at material temperatures of up to 1,200°C using the shadowing method.

Services

Consulting

We advice you from the idea through the system design to the optimization of the ongoing operation. We will take into account the regulations and standards for your business, your special requirements and the economic conditions.

Project management

In co-operation with you we create a project plan and we synchronize our actions with your time frame. We provide the engineering, production, installation and commissioning as scheduled.

Installation

Before installation, we always test your system at our site. The installation date is coordinated with you to minimize or completely avoid downtimes. Integration in your production environment is then completed quick and easy.

Commissioning

We start up your new measuring or projection system in the real production environment. In doing so, we take care of final fine-tuning and carry out all tests necessary for acceptance.

Maintenance

We ensure that your system delivers the desired performance for many years. You receive software updates and information about technology and service. As an additional service, we offer cyclical inspection and maintenance of our systems.

Repairs

Our worldwide service and partner network supports you anytime, anywhere. Troubleshooting is supported by remote access or local evaluation. Depending on the system, repairs will be carried out on-site or at LAP.
