X-Pact^® Advanced Thickness Control

Challenges

• Minimization of off-gauge lengths
• Minimization of thickness disturbances

Solution

• Volume flow control system entry and exit thickness gauges incl. precise entry and exit speed measurement
• Friction change compensation at acceleration and deceleration phases
• Strip hardness change compensation during rolling

Technical advantages

• Stable rolling process
• Improved, operator independent rolling process

Quality

• Increase of thickness performance
• Highest quality even during acceleration and deceleration
