As main goal of the upgrading project of its heavy plate mill, voestalpine
Grobblech made various improvements on the rolling mill, but most of all replaced
the complete mill automation system. As the rolling process is performed almost
automatically, the operator can concentrate on quality observation and throughput
aspects. The modernization project also concerned the hot leveller in view of improving
quality, extending the range of product dimensions and renewing the automation system. A
new setup model was installed.
