Technological Controls
The process control technology of the rolling mill were developed by Achenbach in order to automate and optimize the rolling process. Thus, best quality is achieved.
FUNCTIONS FOR ROLL GAP CONTROL
- SGC® Spacer Gauge Control: direct roll gap control with patented position measuring system
- SCA Servo Controlled Adjustment: indirect roll gap control with redundant position measurement at the setting cylinder
FUNCTIONS FOR STRIP THICKNESS CONTROL
- Monitor Control: Feed back control with secondary position control
- Feed Forward Control: Feed forward control with secondary position control
- Back Tension Control: Feed back control with secondary force control
- Mass Flow Control: Mass flow control in form of a high-dynamic feed forward control
FUNCTIONS FOR PRODUCTIVITY INCREASE
- SAO Strip Area Optimization: area optimization
- FTO Foil Throughput Optimization: tension/speed control to achieve max. rolling speeds
FUNCTIONS FOR STRIP FLATNESS CONTROL
SFC Strip Flatness Control: This concerns the flatness control with mill actuators:
- RGT Roll Tilting: roll tilting
- WRB Work Roll Bending: work roll bending
- VCR Variable Crown Roll: VC backup roll with hydraulically controlled crown
- WIN-SprayS®: volume controlled coolant distribution system
