Abstract

As the present time is characterized by increasing automation and faster production cycles, automatic technical processes becomes more and more important. The quality demands and the productivity are increasing, simultaneously. Due to this conflict of aims, it is necessary that also overall organization and logistic features – today often carried out manually – become integrated in the widely automated production process in “state of the art roll shops”. This affects the processes in modern roll shops and service centers as well. Today’s production technology respectively today’s demands on quality and productivity requires fast, precise and repeatable production steps. An important target of an innovative roll shop is the correct planning and optimization prior to the purchasing of the equipment. A verified capacity study should be the qualification for the design of “a new roll shop”. Not only the machine concept is responsible for a fluent sequence in the steel mill, the quality of the roll shop equipment and the right choice of components has a major influence on the planned results in the rolling mill.
