Systems to the Production Increase

The strip thickness control functions are retrofitted by modules to increase the productivity of the rolling mill:

• FTO Foil Throughput Optimisation: process optimisation function for the maximum rolling speeds. This function changes process parameters automatically to reach maximum rolling speeds, keeping the required rolling quality.
• SAO Strip Area Optimisation: process optimisation function for maximum strip surfaces. With this function the reference thickness on the basis of a statistical evaluation of the rolling result is moved so that the rolled strip thickness at the bottom end of the admissible tolerance strip is set and a greater strip length is consequently produced. A significant Statistical Reporting supplies this function.
