Complete know-how. X-Pact^® for strip processing lines ensures the consistently high surface quality of your hot- or cold-rolled products. Simultaneously, it controls the processes to save energy and resources. Our all-inclusive strip processing systems draw on our exact knowledge of the technological processes of pickling, cleaning, annealing and coating.

All-round system solutions. Included in our supply scope are the entire electric and automation systems for strip processing lines, perfectly matched to your mechanical equipment and technology. Our service covers everything from design to commissioning to backup over your line’s entire service life. You benefit because all the elements – energy supply and distribution, drive technology, instrumentation and automation including production planning – come from a single source. In close cooperation with our mechanical engineers, our specialists in electrics and automation install the up to 300 strip drives per line to take care of problem-free strip transport. Another example of our mechatronic expertise is our newly developed flatness measuring roll. It detects even the slightest deviations in the strip tension distribution and reports them as an “early warning system”. Then the control system can automatically adjust the plant in good time to ensure constant flatness.

Extensively tested. Plug & Work enables our experts to simulate in advance the entire automation system with all its functions as well as the dynamic behavior of the actual plant, then to optimize the automation as required. The system visualizes the complex interplay of the individual components during the production process in real time, so it can represent any operational condition. Plug & Work also gives you the opportunity to provide your operating staff with efficient training under realistic conditions before commissioning. All this leads to an early production start with a steep run-up curve.
