Overview
Modern rolling and coating lines are controlled by measured values. Thickness, flatness, temperature, wall thickness or the composition of the zinc bath determine yield and quality. The earlier and more accurately these values are available, the faster you can act.
KOA-NewTec represents selected international manufacturers. We understand both the measuring technology and the rolling process, and help you find the right system for your measuring task and integrate it into your plant.

Our role as representative
Coming from plant engineering, we clarify in advance where measurement is needed, what accuracy is required and how the values are integrated into the control system.
You have one contact in Germany who handles coordination with the manufacturer.
Application consulting
We clarify the measuring task, installation situation and ambient conditions in your plant.
Selection & quotation
Together with the manufacturer we define the right system configuration.
Project coordination
We are your English- and German-speaking contact between plant and manufacturer.
Commissioning & service
We coordinate installation, commissioning and service with the manufacturer. confirm scope
