Rolling is the process of shaping steel, aluminum and other metals by reducing the cross section by exerting pressure on one or several rolling stands. Hot strip mills make use of the metal’s higher ductility at high temperatures to produce large section reductions.
For this type of plant we provide integral, turnkey solutions, with the following scope of supply:
- Electrical equipment: in medium voltage switchgear, transformers, variable speed drives for alternating and direct current and corresponding motors, motor control centers, field sensors and actuators, control panels and control desks, etc.
- Basic Level 1 automation: including programmable automation units (PLCs), operation and monitoring (HMIs) SCADA systems, in centralized or distributed topology, interconnected via field bus and local area networks (LAN). These systems execute mainly the following functions:
- Control of operation and start modes.
- Speed and torque references for the various drives
