On 05.03.2024 the Final Acceptance Tests of our Needle Stamping Robot for Hot Rings took place.

The Robot stamps rings up to 10.000 kg with temperatures up to 1.100°C. The variety of products can also be considerable: For example, the diameters of the rings can vary from 700mm to 4.200mm. The rings are pulled onto a table in which the position of the ring is not guided, so that the robot has to find the ring itself. Under these demanding conditions the stamping robot achieved 100% accuracy rate of stampings with error rate of 0%!

The entire system was delivered as a turnkey solution and the stamping is performed in fully automatic mode: The ring dimensions are transferred from a data base to the robot, then the ring position is multiple calculated by sensors around and on the robot, and finally the stamping is performed. The machine is in operation 24/7.

We would like to thank our customer Bohemia Rings for their support!

Our new ReaSy® 5.0 for reading and checking stamped rails has been delivered and installed.

The ReaSy® 5.0 system can read stamps on a rail up to a velocity of 5 m/s and is installed on the production line after our rail stamping machine STEMA®.

It consists of a special camera and special lighting with a wavelength adapted to hot steel to take pictures of the stamps and has a connection to  STEMA® for data transmission.

The user can observe the stamps of the rail in live view via a web interface and an interface to Level 2 makes it possible to obtain all information in the production HMI.

Since ReaSy® can read stamps directly on the production line in real time, the production team can react immediately to adjust the stamping process if necessary, e.g. reduce or increase the stamping pressure, adjust the stamping position or identify incorrectly inserted symbols in the magazine, and much more.

This saves time and money, as incorrectly stamped rails are avoided and staff can control the stamping process very efficiently.

The entire system has extensive heat protection and is tailored to the harsh environment of hot rolling.
