The rolling mill facilities were designed to meet the production requirement of Table 1.The rolling mills complex was proposed to include a light and medium merchant mill with breakdown group of stands for rolling blooms into billets and an intermediate in-line heat compensating furnace; a ...

A cold rolling mill is a machine used for reducing the thickness of metal strips; a schematic drawing is shown in Figure 1. Metal is passed through a gap and subjected to the rolling force. The strip thickness is measured by diamond-tipped contact meters on both sides of the rolling mill, providing measurements of the input and output thickness.

At the heart of ABB technology is the understanding that measurements can be sensed accurately, reliably and repeatedly on a continuous basis.

In cold rolling mills (and in particular in tandem rolling mill) the thickness control i.e. the automatic gauge control (AGC) regulation is achieved with sophisticated controllers which need to take into account that loopers are not present (as in the case of hot strip mill) and hence the regulation activity of all the stands is to be ...

Site Challenges in Hot Rolling Mill. The temperature of hot rolling is around 1000°C to 1300°C. The hot rolling mill having a challenging environment for making any kind of temperature measurements like high temperature and the movement of the metal, make thermocouples and other contact temperature sensors impractical.

Hot Rolling Mills Use through-process temperature monitoring to gain more insight into the reheat process. Achieving and maintaining the correct temperature through the furnace is crucial in ensuring materials like steel slabs and billets have been uniformly heated during the reheat process at hot rolling mills.

In rolling mills, intermediate steel products are given their final shape and dimension in a series of shaping and finishing operations. Most of the slabs are heated in reheating furnaces and rolled into final shape in hot– or cold–rolling or finishing mills. While some products (e.g. reinforcement bars, steel plates) only require hot-rolling, some others may require both hot– and cold ...

Over the past five years, SMT has produced a number of different types of new, used and revamped Rolling Mills. Some of the machines built were new mills, as was the case of the 3 1/2in. & 10in. x 14in. 2-Hi/4-Hi Strip Mill we built for a major battery manufacturer in Gainsville, Florida. Others were older machines that were reconditioned into like new, or better-than-new condition.

Rolling mills for the most demanding applications thanks to the excellent quality of the systems – stable processes and uniform product quality. Faster. The latest measurement and control technology enables automated adjustments to rollers and avoids the need for time-consuming manual corrections. Your partner for rolling.

HOT ROLLING MILLS. In a hot rolling mill process, the steel gets heated at extremely high temperature, which is generally above 1100°C. BLH Nobel can provide sensors and complete measurement systems that are highly durable and withstand the extremely harsh environment in the steel industry production sites.

The ST135 LineGAP system quickly and accurately measures the gapbetween rolls in thin-slab caster segments. For best quality casting and smooth operation of the machine, it is essential to keep pass line geometry and operation conditions as designed. Improper roll gaps can often lead to product defects and increased mechanical wear.

The CCS sheet geometry measuring system is usually installed between the shear and stacking system. The measurement is based on optical reflection, in which the entire cut edge is detected. The measuring system is able to measure the length (L), width (W), diagonals (D1, D2), angles (A, B) and squareness (S) for every sheet.

Profile measuring is a key data acquisition process in the rail manufacturing industry. In rail rolling mills, profile measurement systems inspect the shape of the rail profiles to assess their dimensional quality. This assessment can be used in order to provide feedback for shape control devices in upstream manufacturing, and also to check whether the products are compliant with rail ...

Rolling mills for rolling of steel differ in many aspects with each other. The rolling mills are of different sizes and capacities. The mills roll steel materials of different cross-sections, sizes and qualities and in material conditions which are either hot or cold.

The present invention relates to noncontact measurement of the width of the gap between a pair of rolls in a rolling mill. Rolling mills usually require control of the gap for purposes of controlling the thickness of the stock. The width of the rolling gap is, for example, detected by electromechanical transducer means having two elements whose ...
