Reliable process control requires reliable long term measurements. ABB Force Measurementproducts provide outstanding performance
even in the harshest rolling mill environments,
fulfilling the core values of mill reliability and
strip quality. The ABB combination of application
know-how, reliable products and a global
network of service engineers assure a minimum
of downtime costs, increased productivity
and better yield.
ABB offers the most competitive life cycle cost
– on the Bottom Line you will save hundreds
of thousands of dollars.
The rock-solid design of the Pressductor load cells
and the Pulsed Eddy Current edge sensors will
assure you many years of accurate measurements
in your rolling mills and process lines.
Stressometer Flatness Control – the unsurpassed way to become
more competitive
The Stressometer System is since more than 50 years recognized
as the world standard in flatness measurement and control in flat rolling
mills. Based on our experience from more than 1200 installations the
Stressometer System provides the advanced automated control system
needed to produce the high quality flat strip demanded by producers.
Millmate Strip Scanner Systems – position and width measurement
One of the most important parameters to measure in a rolling mill are
the position and the width of the strip. If these are accurately determined,
the strip can be guided in a correct and consistent lateral position in the mill
and the roll actuators can be adjusted to reach the target flatness.
Furthermore, edge trimming can be reduced to a minimum, and strip
breakage due to over-stressed edges can be eliminated.
Millmate Strip Scanner system is widely used to measure strip edge
position, off-center and strip width in rolling mills as well as in processing
lines.
Large PillowBlock Tensiometers – Strip tension measurement
One of the crucial parameters in achieving correct strip thickness during
hot and cold rolling is the strip tension. In order to reach the highest
possible accuracy, a strip tensiometer is the best and most reliable
alternative. It keeps the strip tension constant within the desired range,
during both acceleration and deceleration.
The Millmate Strip Tensiometer System consists of a Millmate Controller 400,
a junction box and two load cells matched to the desired measuring range.
The load cells are available for measurement in two different directions,
one for vertical measurement and the other for horizontal measurement.
Millmate Roll Force Systems – Roll force measurement
A truly measured roll force is crucial in achieving correct roll gap settings,
true force distribution from operator side to drive side of your mill and
supervision of the backup bearings and roll eccentricity. The Millmate
Roll Force System incorporates all three essential features.
The Millmate Roll Force System consists of a Millmate Controller 400
and two load cells with matching units. The various types and the wide
load range of the Millmate Roll Force load cells cover practically all
conceivable force measurement applications.
