Introduction

Coordinated Power Supply

Medium and low-voltage switchgears, distribution and furnace transformers, compensation equipment (SVC), filter circuits, switched-mode power supply units

• All components - from the power grid to the power supply and the mechanical actuators - optimized and geared to your process requirements
• Low investment and operating costs due to reduced power dissipation
• Only the best suppliers selected

Matched precisely to your plant requirements

Drive transformers, converters, motors, torque drives

• Only the best suppliers selected
• Dimensioning of the drive trains based on real process requirements derived from SMS group's own pass schedules
• X-Pact^? Drive low-voltage frequency converters as an integral part of X-Pact^? electrics and automation

X-Shape Flatness Measuring System as an example

Applications in hot and cold rolling mills as well strip processing lines for steel including Si-steel and stainless steel, aluminum, copper, brass, bronze, etc.

• Maintenance-free roll for all applications
• Closed roll surface with different surface hardnesses and/or coatings available
• Application up to a strip temperature of
  200°C - for higher temperatures under proving (for hot rolling)
• More than 60 references since 2006

Basic automation and control systems

What comes together in our automation systems is our many years of experience in mechanical equipment plus the know-how from hundreds of units built for our customers worldwide.

• Electrical and automation solutions tailored to the requirements of the metallurgical and rolling mill industry
• Pre-optimized systems tested under real-life conditions for both new plants and modernizations

Technological process models, process sequencing, and reporting

Crucial to increasing the yield of modern plants are process automation systems. They are based on mathematical and physical models.

• The same models which are used to design the plant are integrated in the plant automation
• Optimal process guidance and maximum production levels
• Improved and stable production process
• High production flexibility
• Support for the development of new products
• An intelligent connection and systematic networking of knowledge and data with X-Pact^? Process Guidance

Production planning and control with X-Pact? MES 4.0

Also developed by SMS, the Manufacturing Execution System X-Pact? MES 4.0 gives you all the tools you need for production planning and control for all production units in your plant

• Optimum production sequence with minimum set-up time and efficient energy consumption
• Optimum targets for the production of maximum quality with efficient utilization of materials and the saving of plant resources
• Intelligent strategies for alternative measures in case of malfunctions
• Comprehensive data collection and evaluation for creation of potential improvements
