millcheck rolling mill performance auditing

Most mills can be expected to operate efficiently at the end of the commissioning of any new automation system. Over time however, mechanical equipment wears, actuators and instrumentation deteriorate and are repaired, the product mix varies, operating practices evolve and the mill no longer performs optimally. MILLCHECK is a structured audit procedure that establishes mill performance benchmarks for existing or proposed equipment and products. It is used to investigate the impact of upgrade options being contemplated by management on product quality and mill performance or to review equipment proposed by mechanical or electrical suppliers.

MILLCHECK is modular and normally includes a selection of the following:

Review of long term performance
Collection and review of measured data
Analysis of setup models (rollgap models, tuning, adaption, etc)
Analysis of dynamic thickness controls (system responses, etc)
Analysis of shape control performance
Review of roll quality and lubrication management
Mill mechanical check for stretch, hysteresis and eccentricity
Review of operating practice
