Service duration

Typically 1 day on-site to inspect the roll force measurement installation, evaluate and give

recommendations if further actions are needed.

During at least 4 hours, load cells and pressure plates need to be accessible outside the mill stand

for inspection and testing. This can be done during a planned maintenance stop, or by the customer

exchanging to spare load cells and spare pressure plates in the mill stand in advance.

Additional time for travel, preparation, analysis and reporting is needed.

Note: Free access to the mechanical parts and the mounting surfaces 

in the actual mechanical installation is essential for achieving

the expected goals with the Health Check during the site visit. The

accessible parts required for different load cell types and positions

in the mill stand are listed below.

Installations with rectangular load cells below the lower back up roll or above the upper back up roll:

Accessible parts: Mounting surfaces in the mill stand, the sledges if present, the rockers,

the pressure plates closest to the load cells and

intermediate mating plates if present.
