Metals automation and systems integrations
Inspection, grinding, controls and more.
Precision roll quality, efficient reconditioning, and advanced shop automation—delivered by global experts in roll-shop engineering.
Precision that rolls forward
Integrated inspection, grinding, and automation systems built to extend roll life, reduce downtime, and modernize every stage of your mill operation.
Our roll shop technologies deliver a fully integrated approach to roll inspection, grinding, and automation—designed to maximize precision, minimize downtime, and extend the life of critical mill components. Utilizing advanced non-destructive testing methods such as Eddy-Current, Surface-Wave, and Ultrasonic inspection, these systems accurately detect surface and subsurface roll defects before they impact production. Modernized grinding controls and CNC-based systems enhance operator efficiency, improve surface quality, and support high-throughput environments.
Legacy roll grinders can be fully upgraded through mechanical rebuilds, electrical retrofits, and intelligent automation, bringing new levels of performance and reliability to aging equipment. Combined with a global support network and responsive service capabilities, this comprehensive roll shop solution ensures consistent quality and streamlined operations across all steel and aluminum rolling applications.
Precision control systems for every grinding application
Our Grinding Process Control (GPC) automatic grinder controls are specially designed to be retrofitted on existing grinding machines and can be mounted on ne grinding machines. This is a modular system capable ( controlling a simple infeed of the grinding wheel to complex grinding cycles.
The GPC is capable of controlling a grinding process infeed of the servo axes and the X, U, and Z axes. The GPC is capable of controlling the C, C1, X, U, and Z axes as well as the caliper and pairs with our roll inspection systems. The GPC is a modular system capable of controlling any profile that the grinder can grind, and is only limited by the grinder's mechanical limitations, and is capable of controlling the U-axis.

Furnace automation powered by experience
Our consistent development and expansion of the metal sector has made us the technology expert for strip treatment furnaces and blast furnace equipment. We are a global supplier of blast furnace technology innovations. The majority of our worldwide installations of blast furnaces are equipped with automation systems for tap hole drilling and clay gun machines, as well as analyzing technology such as carbon monoxide (CO) monitoring and analysis.
Driving motion across the production chain
Handling machines, handling manipulators and lubrication manipulators are all indispensable aids for an advanced production chain. While our customers design machines, we bring them to life with advanced drive, automation, visualization, and control technology. Our portfolio even includes house-high forging manipulators for steel mills. Our innovations are an essential part of any production chain.
