Rolling mill automation control system
Rolling Mill Automation & DrivesOur professionals come with decades of industry experience. They have the ability to revamp the entire roll mill on multiple phases, shift CAPEX to OPEX, maintain a lean balance sheet, reuse your current control equipment to optimize project costs. You can roll your products easily, combine advanced technologies, produce a wide range of steel grades, shapes, and dimensions, and diminish manual operator inputs to ensure reliable rolling.
Cascade ControlIt is a way of control that combines two feedback loops. It uses R-factor (reducting concept) for calculating the mill cascade speed reference. This allows ensuring minimum material stress between the stands, fundamental and simplifies the setup and operator control.
