Size Control System

The KOCKS Size Control System (SCS®) is an advanced closed‑loop control solution that optimizes the operating parameters of the KOCKS Reducing & Sizing Block (RSB®). In combination with the profile measuring system e.g. the 4D EAGLE S, the SCS helps rolling mills achieve ambitious quality targets by keeping dimensions within tight tolerances – automatically and reproducibly.

WHEN UPSTREAM VARIATIONS
MEET TIGHT TOLERANCES

The KOCKS 3-roll technology is capable of producing the tightest tolerances, for example those required by the demanding automotive industry. The challenge in day‑to‑day operation is when process conditions in the upstream mill are constantly changing – billet temperature, material variations, wear, tension. The SCS® is designed to respond to these fluctuations and keep the RSB® in an optimal operating state, so that excellent rolling results become reproducible, bar after bar.

CLOSING THE LOOP

AUTOMATIC CORRECTIONS
OF ROLL GAP & MOTOR SPEED

Based on measured profile deviations at the finished round, the SCS® calculates corrections for two key quality‑determining parameters of the RSB® - roll gap of the individual stands and motor speed and thus tension interaction between the stands.

This system’s benefits

  • High automation level as data triggers corrections
  • Reduced need for manual intervention and trial bars
  • Keep tolerances stable over time and across shifts

The SCS®: More consistent product quality and fewer operator‑dependent variations.

SCS® & 4D EAGLE S IN TEAMPLAY

A POWERFUL USE
FOR MEASUREMENT DATA

The SCS® works seamlessly with KOCKS measuring gauges such as the 4D EAGLE S, which accurately measure the dimensions of the rolled product and provide real‑time profile information. This measurement data is the basis for the SCS® to adjust roll gaps and motor speeds automatically.

Together, these systems form a powerful solution for mills that want to use digital feedback loops to secure quality and improve performance in special bar production.
