AI Technical Summary
⚠Technical Problem
The process of changing rollers in a rolling mill poses a high hazard potential due to the rollers being extremely hot and potentially damaged, leading to dangerous chipping or breaking off of parts, which can injure personnel.
⚗Method used
A device with a hood part that encloses the roller, featuring a cavity for assembly and disassembly, and equipped with sensors to monitor cooling and cracking behavior, providing a safe and automated observation of the roller's condition.
🎯Benefits of technology
Significantly reduces the risk of personal injury by shielding the roller from its surroundings and allowing safe handling during cooling, while ensuring reliable detection of critical conditions.

Abstract
The invention relates to a device for spatially separating at least one roller (2A, 2B) for rolling a metal rolling material, in particular at least two rollers (2A, 2B) which can be spaced apart from one another by a rolling gap, from a surrounding area (4), having a hood part (8) for at least partly covering the at least one roller (2A, 2B), the hood part (8) having a cavity (10) which is open on the lower face of the hood part (8) with respect to the at least one roller (2A, 2B) for assembly and disassembly purposes.
