| What is it? |
|
| |
This is a cold rolling model for a mill with up to 5 rolling stands. The model provides
3 predefined materials and one user defined material. With this model the following important
values can be computed.
- Required rolling force
- Required rolling torque
- Roll gap and neutral point
|
- Forward slip
- Roll bite stress distribution
- Speed and force limits
|
The model results are currently available in English Units (lbs/ft/sec).

The primary uses for this model are "what if" analysis, rolling mill setup,
and scheduling. If you find this model useful, LogiK Research also has the capability to
further tune this model AND create real time models written in the BASIC, C or Fortran programming
languages. Using a tuned model can result in the following benefits:
- Developing rolling schedules
- Optimizing rolling schedules
- Standardized tension practices
|
- Standardized reduction practices
- Increasing productivity
- Reducing off gauge losses
|
|
| Are there limitations? |
|
| |
This model is NOT tuned to any particular mill. The results can be
improved through tuning the model to your mill. If you find the results you get
useful, we can further tune the model to make it even better. |
