Measurement of Rings via Image Processing during and after Radial-Axial Ring Rolling

Abstract:

Seamless rings are used in several industrial sectors and are mainly produced by radial-axial ring rolling. To be able to detect process or form errors, which nowadays cannot be detected reliably by the conventional sensor technology of a radial-axial rolling machine, an image pro­cessing device has been mounted above the table of the ring rolling machine. This paper introduces the possibilities for measurements via image processing during and after radial-axial rolling of rings.
