Offsets intermediate rolls based on detected horizontal forces to compensate for work roll deflection and maintain strip shape quality.
Predicting strip section temperatures allows proactive adjustment of the roll gap profile through selective cooling and mechanical actuation.
Two-stage rolling controls oxide inclusions to produce ultra-large heat input welding steel, reducing production costs without expensive nickel additives.
A hydraulic piston with displacement sensors adjusts bearing chock clearance to maintain consistent frictional forces.
Dynamic roll alignment control coordinates with hydraulic lateral guides to correct cambering and wedging in hot-rolled strips.
Coordinated load transfer profiles enable seamless roll stand exchange during continuous operation, preventing dimensional defects and scrap material.
