COMPANY

Roland is the recognized leader for sensors and electronics in the following niche markets:

  • Double sheet detection
  • Weld seam detection and positioning of tubes
  • Steel cord inspection systems for steel belted radial tires

In these application areas Roland's products have achieved unique selling positions (USP) which are appreciated by customers. The basis for that our unique knowledge and experience are the following sensor principles: magnetic flux leakage, eddy current, induction and recently also ultrasonics and capacitance.

Founded in 1965 the company is located in Keltern, a small community situated in the Northern foothills of the Black Forest between the cities of Pforzheim and Karlsruhe -- a region known for its strong industrial base with an excellent infrastructure, well-educated employees and High-Tech oriented universities.

We are proud to offer products that contribute to advancing productivity and simultaneously conserve resources in the production process. Reliable Double Sheet Detection systems increase equipment availability -uptime - especially in automotive stamping facilities and metal packaging production. The positioning of welded steel tubes results in lighter car bodies thereby conserving materials such as steel and aluminum. The same applies to the manufacturing of steel belted radial tires where our Steel Cord Inspection Systems (SIS) installed upstream prevents the production of faulty tires.

New product developments in the area of nondestructive testing - NDT- for wires, rods and cables are proving their usefulness in difficult applications.
