Fast and accurate roll gap adjustment is an essential factor for high utilization rates of Bar and Wire Rod Mills. By modernizing the roll gap adjustment from manual to motorized remote adjustment under load, we significantly increase the productivity of existing finishing blocks. At the same time, operational safety for the plant operators is improved, as manual adjustment in front of the equipment is no longer necessary.
