Automation Tool for Quality Assurance of Long Products

Abstract:

The 3-roll Reducing and Sizing block RSB has been known as reliable instrument for the economic production of SBQ and wire rod. By continuous development of the RSB technology in the past decades, KOCKS clearly contributed to meet high availability, efficient production, fast dimension change and tightest tolerances to secure a rolling mills’ existence. The repeatability of tightest tolerances is an enormous challenge due to the constantly changing basic conditions of a mill. The operator needs to precisely adapt the process parameters reacting to smaller lot sizes made of different material grades with partly strongly varying spreading and shrinkage behavior or yield strengths. It is KOCKS' objective to meet this challenge by an automated tool, the Size Control Systems SCS^®, thus lifting the quality assurance of long products to a new level.
