System for changing a roller
View Patent ↗A system for changing a roller, has a system for determining parameters which characterize the identity and/or the operating state of a roller of an industrial plant, at least one sensor arranged on the roller for furnishing parameters being designed such that the furnished identity parameter of the roller is detectable, and a reading device designed for reading out detected parameters from the sensor without contact. The sensor is also designed to detect an operation state parameter of the roller and can be operated at a roller temperature of at least 150 C. In a rollerchanging wagon on which a roller can be mounted in such a manner that the roller can be guided into or out of a roll stand, the sensor is arranged on the roller for the purpose of furnishing and/or detecting parameters. The process security for an industrial plant can be increased by such a system.

a roller changing carriage configured to mount the roller for insertion into or removal from a particular rolling stand, and
a data evaluation device configured to:
receive the at least one identity parameter of the roller from the reading device, and
automatically determine, based on the at least one identity parameter of the roller, whether the roller is suitable for a planned operation on the particular rolling stand.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the reading device is arranged on the roller changing carriage.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the roller changing carriage comprises a gripper carriage on which the reading device is arranged.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one sensor is arranged on an end face of the roller or on a bearing of the roller.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the data evaluation device is configured to determine whether the roller is compatible with a particular product to be manufactured on the particular rolling stand.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one sensor is configured to measure at least one operating state parameter of the roller.
7. The system of claim 6 , wherein an operating state parameter is the temperature of the roller.
8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one sensor is configured to detect at least one of an oscillation frequency and an oscillation amplitude of the roller.
9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the reading device can supply energy to the sensor for operating the sensor.
10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the reading device is configured to read the at least one identity parameter from the sensor using electromagnetic radiation.
11. The system of claim 1 , wherein the sensor configured to detect a plurality of parameters together.
12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the sensor comprises at least one reflector configured to determine the at least one identify parameter.
13. The system of claim 11 , wherein a first roller has a first surface acoustic wave sensor and a second roller has a second surface acoustic wave sensor, wherein reflectors of the first and second surface acoustic wave sensors are arranged such that signals associated with the parameters from the first roller and the second roller do not overlap in time when simultaneously reading the sensors.
14. A method for changing a roller of an industrial installation, comprising the steps of:
storing at least one identity parameter of the roller in at least one sensor arranged on the roller, the at least one identity parameter comprising information that allows unique identification of the roller,
