Rolling mill shear monitoring
Mill shear diagnostics: Artesis monitors the drive motor through its supply current, SDT ultrasound checks bearings and gearbox lubrication.
Mill shears
Shears cut the bar under shock loads. Drive backlash, bearing wear and flywheel unbalance spoil the cut and risk kinematics failure. Shear downtime stops stand discharge.
Monitor shaft/gearbox bearings, coupling/flywheel unbalance, Artesis current on jams, frame vibration after impacts. SCOUT after PM + Artesis; SDT for early bearing ultrasound.
See rolling mills, drive rolls.
After knife changes capture support spectra — otherwise new unbalance hides in the normal impact background.
SDT for rolling mill shear monitoring monitoring
SDT Ultrasound instruments deliver full acoustic condition monitoring in dusty, noisy plants
Artesis — continuous drive monitoring
Artesis EMCM analyzes motor current and voltage without sensors on the machine
Bently Nevada — vibration diagnostics
Permanent and distributed systems for critical mining assets
Olympus — thickness gauging and videoscopes
When vibration finds a symptom, Olympus confirms metal, weld or internal cavity condition
