What-If Analysis

Based on our long analytical and practical experiences in level-II setup models, we can shed light on many of the "what-if" type questions that are difficult and expensive to address by mill trials. Depending on your needs and whether you require exact analysis or just interested in a general trend analysis, we can provide off-line analysis. Here is a list of some of our capabilities:

  • Tandem Mill Scheduling: We can produce draft and reduction practices per stand as well as Inter-stand tensions that will answer questions on rare/unusual products or difficult products that arise from time to time. Or we can produce alternative rolling practice to the existing product mix.
  • Mill setup calculations: We could provide you with stand speed and power reference calculations suitable to a particular schedule. Roll force, gap, forward slip and friction calculation are also included. We will use your specific mill data to accomplish this. 
  • Shape, roll bending and roll crown studies: Here the effects of roll crown on strip shape and the required bending forces can be studied. Cooling strategies and roll profiles are included. 
  • Winding tension policy: This is a very important process variable for winding of the tin stock.  Hard core and In-body winding tension can be examined for different product gage and metallurgy to prevent kinks and coil collapse at the eye of the coil.
