Shear Optimization

The main target of this function is to realize the possibility of getting the maximum number of bars based on the customers cut to length from the billet being rolled; this control is based on the estimation of the length of the material being rolled in the continuous mill. The calculations for the optimized length of the bars on the cooling bed is performed using the tracking function of the PLC programs in conjunction with the hot metal detectors and other sensors located in different sections of the mill. The immediate result of this function is the improvement in the yield as there is no wastage of short bars and the Return of investment can be realized in quick time.
