diagrams, drawings, weights, data etc., are for information purposes only and
are not binding unless expressly stated as such. These documents remain the
exclusive property of KKA. They may not be transmitted or communicated to a
third party without KKA's written consent and shall only be used in connection
with this respective contract.
(2) The full scope of supply is specified in KKK's written
quotation and/or acknowledgement of order respectively. Modifications in the
plant design which constitute a technical improvement but do not result in a
price increase are permissible. The equipment is supplied in accordance with the
applicable Standards and Codes valid in the Federal Republic of Germany at the
time the offer is made.
II Prices
The prices shall be governed by the provision agreed by the
contracting parties.
III. Payment
(1) All payments shall be made without any deduction whatsoever
directly to the bank specified by KKA, in accordance with the agreed terms of
payment.
(2) The equipment shall not pass into the possession of the
Purchaser until all payments have been received. In the event that the validity
of this title retention is linked to special prerequisites or national
regulations in the country of destination, it is the responsibility of the
Purchaser to ensure that these conditions are fulfilled.
(3) The retention of payments on the grounds of asserted
counterclaims made by the Purchaser and offsetting payments in connection with
such claims is permitted only insofar that KKA has accepted such claims in
writing. For claims made by the Purchaser on the grounds of defective equipment
and accepted in writing as such by KKA, payments may only be withheld to an
extent considered reasonable by KKA. If the fulfillment of a KKA obligation upon
which a payment depends is delayed through no fault of KKA, the payment shall be
made on the date originally specified in the Contract.
(4) If the Purchaser is in arrears with the contractual payments,
KKA may postpone the fulfillment of its own obligations until such payments have
been made or may set a time limit for payment. If after expiration of the time
limit payment has still not been made, KKA may terminate the Contract. If KKA
terminates the Contract, KKA shall be entitled to compensation for all
expenditures incurred and for work carried out up to the date of cancellation.
If the Purchaser is responsible for the delay in payment, KKA shall be entitled
to compensation representing the full contract value, less saved expenditures.
IV. Delivery
(1) The delivery time is deemed to be kept when the equipment is
ready for shipment ex works within the agreed time and, if KKA shall provide for
shipment ex works, when the equipment is transferred to the shipping agent.
(2) The agreed time of delivery shall only be binding provided
that all required documents are made available by the Purchaser in due time,
that technical clarification and approval of plans and drawings are obtained in
due course, and that the agreed terms of payment and other obligations are
fulfilled. if these prerequisites are not fulfilled, the time of delivery shall
be extended as is reasonable having regard to all the circumstances of the case.
(3) Part deliveries are permitted.
(4) Under unforeseen circumstances, e.g. acts of God, war, riot,
strike, production of substandard equipment and upset manufacturing conditions
or other circumstances beyond KKA's circumstances beyond KKA's control, there
shall be granted an extension of the delivery time as long as these
circumstances will affect performance of the Contract.
(5) Should a delay in delivery be caused by KKA with verifiable
damage to the Purchase resulting directly from late delivery, then the Purchaser
is entitled to a fair compensation excluding any other rights, if delivery was
delayed by more than 6 weeks. After these 6 weeks, the penalty for late delivery
shall amount to 0.5 percent for each full week but shall not exceed 5 percent
of the value of the equipment which was delayed in delivery. The respective
compensation shall be offset with the last payment.
(2)
V. Passing of Risk
(1) Unless otherwise provided, the risk for material supplies
including or without installation shall pass to the Purchaser on the date of
shipment.
(2) In the event that shipment of the material is postponed on
request of the Purchaser or for reasons for which KKA cannot be blamed, the risk
shall pass upon giving notice in writing to the Purchaser that the material is
ready for shipment. KKA shall, for the account of the Purchaser, effect the
insurance if desired by the Purchaser.
VI. Incoterms
Where no other indication is given, the Rules of the
Interpretation of Trade Terms (incoterms) in force at the date of conclusion of
the Contract shall be applied.
VII. Erection
In addition, the General Conditions for the Erection of KKA
Equipment shall apply to all Contracts covering the supply of equipment
including erection and commissioning.
VIII. Taking Delivery
The Purchaser shall take delivery even in the event that part of
the equipment is defective, provided that this defect does not prevent proper
operation. Taking delivery by the Purchaser does not release the Supplier from
his guarantee obligation.
IX. Guarantee
(1) In case of faults which are not covered by the Performance
Guarantee specified under para (2) of this article, KKA undertakes to remedy any
defect resulting from faulty design, materials or workmanship either by
repairing the defective part free of charge or by replacing it by a new one
which is delivered ex works. Upon replacement, the defective part shall again
become the property of KKA
KKA's liability is limited to defects which occur within 6 months
after first commissioning of the supplied equipment, with notice being given by
the Purchaser immediately after the defect appeared. If plant operation is
interrupted for reasons for which KKA is liable, the guarantee period of those
parts which caused the stoppage shall be extended accordingly by the shut-down
period.
For repaired or replaced parts KKA shall assume liability to the
same extent as for the originally supplied equipment, however not longer than 3
months after expiration of the guarantee period of the originally supplied
equipment.
(2) KKA shall be liable for non-performance of guaranteed
performance and consumption data only in so far as non-performance is verifiably
attributable to KKA, any required reconditioning work shall then be made by KKA
free of charge. Upon satisfactory guarantee tests or, if such guarantee tests
are not made, after acceptance of the equipment by the Purchaser, all KKA
liabilities concerning performance and consumption data are fulfilled.
(3) If KKA fails to remedy a defect as defined in art. IX para (1)
or (2) within a reasonable period of time, or if the reconditioning work does
not bring about the desired result, the Purchaser is entitled to a reasonable
price reduction accordingly.

acceptance of the plant are delayed for reasons for which KKA is not liable,
KKA's liabilities according to para (1) or (2) expire 12 months after
notification of readiness of shipment, at the latest.
(5) KKA's liabilities only cover faults which occur under the
contractually defined operating conditions while the equipment is being
correctly used and which are directly attributable to causes dating back to the
period before passing of risk.
Any defects which are attributable to chemical or electrical
effects, normal wear, improper arrangement or bad plant maintenance by the
Purchaser, or attributable to non-compliance with the operating instructions are
not covered by KKA's liabilities.
(6) The Purchaser shall schedule a reasonable period of time which
allows the Supplier to repair the defective parts or to replace them
respectively. KKA shall be released from all liabilities if the Purchaser does
not allow a sufficient period of time.
KKA is released from its liability if the Purchaser or third
parties undertake modifications on the equipment to carry out maintenance work
prior to KKA's approval.
(3)
(8) In the event that KKA shall supply drawings or other documents
or data for work which shall be carried out on the part of the Purchaser, KKA
shall be liable for such services only in so far as a special remuneration was
paid for these services. If such a remuneration is paid, KKA guarantees correct
and faultless performance according to the state of the art and that the
eventually agreed performance and consumption data are reached.
KKA's liability is limited to free-of-charge engineering services
which are required to remedy eventual defects which occurred within 6 months
after first plant commissioning and not later than 12 months after having
rendered the respective services with notification being given by the Purchaser.
(9) Any additional claims by the Purchaser or liabilities of KKA
beyond those described above under art. IX, paras (1-8) are explicitly excluded
and waived by the Purchaser unless otherwise agreed and confirmed by KKA in
writing.
X. Impossibility of Contract Performance
(1) If due to unforeseen circumstances as specified in art. IV.
para (4). It is impossible for KKA to assure performance of the Contract in
full or in part, the Purchaser is entitled to terminate the Contract in case of
complete impossibility, whereas in case of partial impossibility the Purchaser
is entitled to an appropriate price reduction. In case of termination of the
Contract by the Purchaser, KKA is entitled to an adequate compensation for the
services and work carried out so far.
If impossibility of performance occurs during a delay in
acceptance or for reasons for which the Purchaser is liable, the Purchaser shall
pay the contract price less the expenditures saved by KKA due to impossibility
of performance.
(2) KKA is entitled to terminate the Contract on the grounds of
unforeseen circumstances as defined in art. IV, para (4) which render contract
performance completely or partly impossible. KKA is then entitled to a
compensation covering the expenditures and services rendered so far.
XI. Taxes, Fees, Charges
All taxes, fees and charges imposed on the supplies outside the
Federal Republic of Germany shall be paid by the Purchaser. In the event that
the authorities in the country of destination directly impose these taxes, fees
and charges on KKA, then KKA will be refunded accordingly by the Purchaser.
XII. Plant Visits

Krefeld. KKA reserves itself the right to take legal action at the Purchaser's
place of jurisdiction.
XIV. Transferability of Rights
The Purchaser and KKA may transfer their contractual rights to a
third party only after mutual consent in writing.
XV. General
(1) In addition to the rights granted under the Contract and the
General Conditions, the Purchaser is not entitled to claim any further rights,
particularly claims for financial or other damage which is not directly
attributable to the supplied equipment.
(2) If peremptory rules prohibit the application of individual
contractual provisions, this does not affect the validity of all other
provisions.

Profile monitor / data viewing screen
MC 68 K02.K1
DESCRIPTION:
Various data presentations are displayed on the monitor, in combination with a
scanning measuring sensor. Different screen displays can be selected as required
by the application.
The programme for the monitor screen display is stored on EPROM. When the unit
is switched on, the programme is immediately loaded and started by means of an
autostart command.
After interrogation of the parameters preset on the measurement system, both the
horizontal and vertical scales for the profile representation are computed and
displayed correspondingly. The utilization of the viewing screen is thereby
optimized; that is, for a shorter traversal path of the measuring sensor the
horizontal scale is spread; the vertical scale is likewise spread for smaller
tolerance values.
The profile is displayed in the form of a histogramme. The bars are drawn during
the scan; hence, the actual value is indicated immediately after computation of
the measured values. The position of measurement is indicated by a xxxx which is
displayed in synchronism with the motion of the measuring head.
If the measured values exceed the preset tolerance limits, the bars which lie
outside the tolerance range are identified by a different colour. Thus, an
inadmissible deviation is easily recognizable even from a greater distance.
In addition to the histogramme bars, further information is presented
graphically and numerically; this information is described by means of the
following figures.

This screen display includes the elapsed time counter with three different
ranges. The following times are indicated:
1. Total elapsed operating time
2. Time elapsed during automatic operation, for which at least one control
loop must be in automatic mode.
3. Time elapsed during manual operation
Moreover, various parameters which are largely independent of the product, that
is, which remain constant despite different products, can be set on this
display. The following parameters are indicated for the present measuring and
control system:
[code basic settings]
The code number must be entered in this line; only with correct entry of the
code number, a change in the basic settings is possible.
[time (hhmm)]
The current time is entered in hours and minutes.
[date (ttmmjjjj]
The current time is entered as day, month, and year.
[start of shift in minutes after 0 o'clock]
The beginning of the shift is entered for the shift after 0 hours - as a rule,
the beginning of the morning shift.
[length of shift in minutes (greater than 60 minutes)]
The duration of the shift including breaks is entered.
[print error messages (0/1)]
After occurrence of a fault, the message is printed in clear text immediately
upon entry of [1]
[(print roll profile (0/1)]
After the roll change signal, the profile of the last roll is printed upon entry
of <1>
[print shift record (0/1)]
Upon entry of [1], the record is printed after pressing of the [shift
changeover] key. If the associated parameters for the shift beginning and
duration have been preset, the record is printed automatically at the end of
the shift.
[print order record (01)]
Upon entry of [1], the record is printed either by pressing of the [order
changeover] key or by changing of the order number.
[print roll record (0/1)]
Upon entry of [1], the roll record is printed automatically after 200 individual
rolls.
Attention!
After printing, all records and the roll profile screen display are reset and
restarted.
[optimize set value]
The factor X is entered for optimizing the set value. In the case of positive
factors, optimizing is performed at the positive tolerance limit. For a factor
of 0, no optimization is performed.
The following applies for positive factors: Wo = W + OT - (2S * [X])
The following applies for negative factors:
Wo = W - UT + (2S * [X])
Wo denotes the optimized set value
W denotes the set value
UT denoted the lower tolerance limit
OT denotes the upper tolerance limit
[X] denotes the absolute value of the factor
S denotes the standard deviation of the last
single profile.

All existing product numbers under which the corresponding product parameters
and data records have been stored in the memory are listed. The battery-backed
data memory has a capacity of about 200 product data records for standard
systems. The memory capacity depends on the length of the product data records
(the number of lines in a data record) and may therefore be smaller with
comprehensive systems.

This screen display also includes relevant,client-specific product parameters
for reasons associated with measurements or as desired. These parameters can be
stored under a freely selectable product number in the battery-backed data
memory and are thus available at any time.
The display is conveniently subdivided into two columns.
1. [actual] column
The values of the instantaneously valid data record are indicated here.
2. [next] column
The next data record is presented here. This data record can be entered
or transferred either by means of the keyboard or, as an extension, from a
host computer system through an interface RS 232.
The entries for the product and order numbers may consist of a maximum of 15
alphanumeric characters; all other entries may comprise a maximum of 15 numeric
digits The corresponding line is selected for the entry by pressing the cursor
keys, and the line is displayed in blue. Every entry must be terminated by
pressing the [Enter] key.
ATTENTION!
After completion of the entries, the product number
must be reentered before storing of the product data
record in the memory or
transfer from the [next] column to the [actual] column. For
reasons of security, this number is deleted during alterations in a
data record, in order to avoid possible errors
in storing the data record, for
example, overwriting of a data
record which is still valid.

the line entitled [Customer], the name of the client can also be entered.
The record includes all individual rolls manufactured under the specified order
number, together with the associated quality data.
Individual rolls whose quality data cannot satisfy the desired quality criteria
are deleted from this record and documented in a rejection list.
Individual rolls are eliminated in the following manner:
1. The corresponding individual roll is selected by means of the cursor keys.
(The line is emphasized in colour).
2. After pressing of the [Enter] key, the data on this roll are deleted from
the record and transferred to a rejection list.
This record is reset and restarted with the [Order change] signal as well as
upon alteration of the order number. Moreover, a printer output can be specified
by entry in the basic settings before resetting of the record.
If the number of individual lines exceeds 200, the record is automatically
cleared and then resumed with the subsequent data. With the appropriate entry
[Printout order record] in the basic settings, the partial record is printed
before resetting.

This screen display presents a list of all rolls manufactured during a shift,
with reference to the product number and width; that is, rolls of the same width
and with an identical product number are cumulatively added automatically. The
record is extended by an additional line only if either of these two values
changes. The name of the shift xxxxxxx can also be entered.
The last line of the record indicates the sum total of all individual rolls
produced during this shift, with length and weight as well as down time.
If the number of individual lines exceeds 200, the record is automatically
cleared and then resumed with the subsequent data. With the appropriate entry,
the partial record is printed before resetting.
