INSPECTION MACHINES
Brushing Machines
Surface Inspection with 3D High Speed Sensors
The automatic Vision System allows automatic detection of defects
on surfaces by means of image processing, even on surfaces with a
big amount of scales. An image processing algorithm distinguishes
defects like flakes, cracks, grooves or break-offs from other surface
irregularities, such as stamp marks, engravings or scale. Every defect
or deviation can be reviewed on several screens along the rolling mill.

TORCH CUTTING MACHINES - FLAT PRODUCTS
SSC -Slab Swivel type Counterweight Machine
• The machine is lowered by a pneumatic cylinder providing a single
and simple movement by pushing down the synchronization skid
against the slab. The skid returns back in top position thanks to the
rear protection plate used as counterweight
• In case of a power failure or emergency, the skid is lifted in a safe
position by manual or automatic purging of the cylinder and the
machine is released from the strand
SVE - Slab Vertical lowering Electric type
The machine is combining two mechanical movements driven by a
strong electromechanical drive which supports the torch beam and the
below water plate with the synchronization skid. By lowering, the skid
is going down until the slab surface stops the movement. At the same
time the torch beam is going down uprightly by means of a vertical
raceway keeping the torches vertical regardless of the thickness of the
slab. With this mechanical system, there is no need for a torch height
equipment system with all components like motors, end switches etc.
Vertical Torch Cutting Machine for continuous slab casting
plants
• Casters utilizing a vertical design allows for continuous casting of
high-alloy grades; this casting technology requests high performing
Torch Cutting Machines able to accomplish their task in an unusually
rough environment with perfect accuracy and reliability.
• Gega Vertical TCM (machine type: SVM – Slab Vertical Machine)
are composed of a horizontal machine carriage moving vertically
between two columns and synchronizing the movement with the
strand by pneumatically actuated clamping arms. Two independent
torch carriages travel on rails which are mounted on the machine
carriage.
• The machine is protected against the radiant heat of the hot strand
by generously dimensioned water plates at the bottom and front
side of the machine.

up transversal to the roller table. For the cutting operation the portals
are equipped with two torch carriages for transversal cutting. Both
machines are designed for cross cuts with only 1 torch or with 2 torches
simultaneously. With input information provided by a measuring roll the
slabs, transported by a roller table, are stopped in a certain window
and the two portal cutters are positioned along the transport direction
in order to achieve the preselected length of the daughter slabs.

EXA – Manual Radial and Axial Runout
TESTING MACHINES
Impact / Radial Impact Test
The results of accident and collision research demand wheels which
preserve and maintain their functions even under the heaviest of
loads. The impact test simulates the fracture behaviour of the wheels on
the front side flange travelling over a defined obstacle. The radial-impact
test simulates the fracture and deformation behaviour of the wheels on
the back side flange travelling over a defined obstacle.
• Test according specification ISO 7141, BSAU, TRIAS 43, SAE
J175, JASCO C608-750, FORD S74 EB 100 /CD, JASCO C608-
75 IJ, AK-LH08, § 30 StVO and NBR 6752
EXA – Radial and Axial Runout
MAKRA measuring machines were developed to make the simultaneous
measurement of concentricity and run-out on the outer and inner tyre
seat possible.
• Calculation of 1st to 10th harmonic and physical identification for
positioning and marking
• Measurement of the following parameters:
radial runout front and back side, axial runout front and back side,
tyre seat circumference inside and outside, wheel width, wheel
offset, centre bore diameter
MAKRA mobile and compact measuring instruments were developed
for testing the concentricity and run-out of tyre seats near the production
line.
• For testing close to production site
• For optimization of lathe process, for special adjustments of the
chucking system based on measurement results
• Clamping on the centre bore with the special MAKRA chucking
system
