within the desired tolerance in order
to produce quality products. However,
in reality the rolls are subjected to
maintenance by reprofiling without the
knowledge of deviations that have occurred
due to wear during production.
It is often assumed that an accurate
template can verify the quality of the roll
tool contour. However, a template can only
match and cannot measure the deviation
in the contour. Thus, the resulting quality is
more visual without being logical.
The Copra® Roll tool database management
system provides the additional capability of
recording roll tool data. The user must first
scan all the rolls in the shop floor inventory
and put them into the database. The user
can then track identical rolls from various
projects, check the reuse of scrap rolls, and
accurately generate the roll drawing.
Profile measurement comes as an added
feature with the scanning enhancement
option. Therefore, inspecting the profile
quality is also improved.

The Copra Rollscanner roll tool contour
quality inspection machine has already
achieved great success in Europe. Using
the Copra RollScanner, deviations on the roll
tool contour can be detected by comparing
scanned results with the designed contour.
Drawing of the scanned contour and deviation
reports are generated automatically.
Based on several years of R&D,
Copra RollScanner has evolved
to become a quick and simple
roll tool quality inspection
machine. Unlike other machines
available in the market,
Copra RollScanner has been
developed specifically for the
tube and rollforming industry.
The system ensures non-
contact and continuous
measurement with minimal
human interference, thereby
achieving the highest possible
accuracies. In the rollforming
industry, it is usually necessary
to maintain the roll tool quality
For the first time in India, data M Software
has introduced a roll tool quality inspection
machine to the tube and rollforming
industry. data M Software India Pvt Ltd,
based in Bangalore, is now offering Copra®
Rollscanner technology for the Indian
market including sales, training and scan
services.
