Abstract

Roll heating and cooling problems such as cracks, defects and “orange peel” finish are easy to spot, but finding the source of these problems can be difficult and timeconsuming. A Temperature Profile Detection system allows users to accurately identify areas of roll(s) with temperature deviations. The benefits of the system include accurate temperature measurement across the entire roll face in a few seconds allowing for quick problem identification, easier troubleshooting and maintenance, and easy operation for quick turnaround. This paper will discuss the features of the system and provide studies of installations and their use of the system to assist with process problems as well as process improvements in terms of roll cooling management.
