X-Pact® Camber Free Rolling
Control system for camber and wedge-free rolling in the roughing mill areaChallenges
- Thickness wedges and asymmetric heating in the slab may form cambers
Solution
- Effective interplay between the heavy side guides in front and behind the Roughing Mill and the control system for camber and wedge free rolling
Technical advantages
- Cost saving – due to increased yield
- Improved strip geometry - Camber and wedge reduced to a minimum
- Improved process stability / reduced amount of cobbles in the FM due to better strip guidance
Productivity
- Improved process stability and reduced cobbles in the Finishing Mill due to better strip guidance
- Increased yield by 0.5 - 3 %
