TO IMPROVE PERFORMANCE AND QUALITY
AIC designs cutting-edge solutions for the control of each different type of Mill (such as blooming, bar & wire rods, merchant bars, rails & sections). AIC's control platform includes rolling mill control (power control, automation & supervision solutions and energy management systems), cooling area and high-performance supplies.
AIC RACS
AIC RACS (Rolling Mill Automation Control System) is a leading-edge technology specially developed by AIC, successfully implemented for quantity-focused systems (for example construction steel mills) and quality-focused systems (for example profile and special steel/titanium mills).
FINISHING AREA
Our extensive selection of automation solutions can enhance your finishing area flow and ensure that crucial phases are error-free:
– High-speed discharging system
– Apron system
– Finishing and calibration blocks with individual drives
– Laying head
– Bar in coil
– Quenching systems
TENSION & LOOP CONTROL
The tension regulator has to carry out a fine regulation of the speed reference of the stands to maintain a constant tension or push on the material between two stands.
The digital loop regulators are designed to adjust the speed references of the stands in order to form the loop between them, keep the loop height at a set value and recover the loop at the end of the billet.
FRONT AND TAIL-END POSITIONING CONTROL
