A starting point in any objective assessment
of a rolling mill performance is to evaluate and benchmark the quality of its output with respect to its key parameters. We
emphasize this step with focusing on two important outputs: gage and strip shape.
The strict adherence of steel customers
to industry standards makes these two parameters of outmost importance to the mill operations. Good strip shape is also a
necessity for the downstream operations affecting their throughput. We meet this challenge with our excellent data acquisition
and data analysis capabilities.
As a starting point to our review process
we can connect with your level-II database directly, or we can work with your level-II engineers to obtain the necessary data
for such analysis, which are typically deviation signals per length or I-units in case of shape. If there is no shape measuring
devices on-line, we can work with you to obtain samples off-line and make manual measurements.
In addition to providing a statistical summary of gage and shape performance we could also pursue root cause analysis on gage and shape defects or investigate the automatic gage and shape control systems.
