This was an interesting project, which was successfully designed and commissioned by my customer. This machines use is to roll and prepare the surfaces of cast platinum ingots. With a rolling accuracy of 0.1mm to 0.5mm, this machine requires 20T of hold down force whilst rolling and an impressive torque of 15750Nm. It comes with an automated ingot feed system, which return the ingot to the operator for inspection, after rolling. The compressive roller is automatically set to its rolling height after the ingot is automatically measured. Keep an eye out, we are animating this one for a better process understanding.
