X-Pact® Extended Bending System (EBS)
EBS technology for highest accuracy during Electro Discharge Texturing (EDT) rollingChallenges
- Uniform roll roughness transfer across and along the entire strip
Solution
- SMS group uses a strengthened top intermediate roll bending for applying the roll separating force needed in EDT passes
Technical advantages
- Aluminum strips rolled with lowest elongations and amount of lubricants
- Running the mill with very low roll forces under stable closed-loop force control
Quality
- EBS improves the control of the rolling process by reducing mill friction
- Meeting market requirements for automotive sheet production
