Abstract

As main goal of the upgrading project of its heavy plate mill, voestalpine Grobblech made various improvements on the rolling mill, but most of all replaced the complete mill automation system. As the rolling process is performed almost automatically, the operator can concentrate on quality observation and throughput aspects. The modernization project also concerned the hot leveller in view of improving quality, extending the range of product dimensions and renewing the automation system. A new setup model was installed.
