For decades now,
Siemens VAI has been present in cold rolling mills in its
capacity as an all-round supplier and promoter of innovation
and new processes designed to achieve higher efficiency
and more customer-focus in production. Here is a brief outline
of a few automation highlights:
• Flatness
measurement and control systems with self-learning parameter
optimization for consistently high strip quality
• Extended mass flow control for unsurpassed strip
gauge tolerance
• Eccentricity compensation control for the roll and
the coil that creates optimal conditions for gauge control
• Edge drop compensation that expands the usable width
of the cold-rolled strip.
Our
portfolio and our experience also comprise:
• Cold
tandem rolling mills, especially continuously working plants
or, for example, plants coupled to picking lines;
• Single-stand and multiple-stand reversing rolling
mills;
• Skin-pass mills;
• Complete cold-rolling mills as turnkey plants as
well as modernization and all types of refurbishment.
As
a result of their own intensive developments - for example
in light construction - customers such as the automobile industry
demand the highest possible standards in dimensional accuracy,
strength and surface quality. Rolling mills also have to satisfy
demands for the development of new types of steel or tailored
blanks.
