Vardhman Special Steels integrates the 4D EAGLE S measuring system
Vardhman Special Steels, a renowned Indian producer of high-quality steel, has successfully commissioned the state-of-the-art 4D EAGLE S measuring system developed by KOCKS and LAP at its rolling mill in Ludhiana.
The advanced system, installed behind the KOCKS Reducing & Sizing Block (RSB®) commissioned earlier this year, is now fully operational. Its laser light sectioning technology allows for the highest levels of precision in full-profile measurement for rounds with diameters ranging from 16 to 100 mm, hexagonal bars 19.5 to 40.5 mm, and square dimensions from 50 to 110 mm.
The installation of the 4DEAGLE S marks a step forward for Vardhman Special Steels in improving the accuracy and efficiency of its rolling processes. The system captures comprehensive data on the rolled steel bars' profile in real-time, feeding the results into the SMART CORE X software for immediate display, documentation and further analysis. This allows Vardhman’s trained operators to continuously monitor product dimensions and throughout the entire rolling process, ensuring superior quality assurance.
Developed to perform reliably in the challenging environment of rolling mills, the 4D EAGLE S combines cutting-edge measuring technology with modern software solutions. This not only improves product consistency but also supports the company's commitment to sustainability and innovation in special steel production.
With the integration of the 4DEAGLE S behind the highly capable RSB®, Vardhman is further strengthening its ability to meet the high demands of its customers and solidifying its position as a key player in the Indian steel market. For KOCKS and LAP, it marks the first commissioning of the jointly engineered measuring gauge in India and paves the way for continued innovation with steel producers.
