Under contemporary manufacturing conditions, the problem of improvement of the quality of pipes (used as components of the equipment installed at various plants) that can be realized without significant additional investments proves to be quite urgent. A significant influence on the quality of seamless pipes in the process of hot rolling is exerted by the accuracy of adjustment of the technological axis of a continuous rolling mill. The application of contemporary methods of monitoring of the geometric parameters of equipment based on the use of contactless measuring 3D systems under the conditions of pipe-rolling mills (PRM) equipped with fine-quality mills opens new possibilities for the improvement of the quality of pipes. We also present the data on the introduction of measuring 3D systems, which realize an absolutely new approach to the determination and fine adjustment of the technological axes of continuous pipe-rolling mills, in the process of manufacturing.
