Abstract

The aim of the invention is to create an inspection system ( 1 ) for rolled products ( 2 ) of a milling station, which is to reliably prevent the texture of the substrate from being impressed and/or pressing through during processing of the rolled product ( 2 ), especially during grinding. Said aim is achieved by disposing a number of vertically adjustable rolled product clamps ( 6, 8 ) on a conveyor belt ( 4 ) for rolled products ( 2 ) in the inspection system ( 1 ).

Claims (1)

1. Inspection system ( 1 ) for rolled products ( 2 ) of a rolling mill, comprising: a belt conveyor ( 4 ) for rolled products ( 2 ); a number of vertically adjustable rolled product clamps ( 6 , 8 ) arranged along the belt conveyor ( 4 ) for fixedly holding the rolled products ( 2 ), whereby the product clamps, with upper and lower clamping jaws ( 14 ) holding the rolled products, are vertically movable as a unit to lift the rolled products off the belt conveyor; and a vertically adjustable tensioning station arranged between two rolled product clamps so as to only be directly contactable with a bottom surface of the rolled product, the clamps, the tensioning station and the fixedly held rolled products being movable vertically upward into an inspection position in which the clamps, the tensioning station and the fixedly held rolled products are maintained stationary during inspection.
