ADDITIONAL CHARACTERISTICS
Best sizing technology - major improvements through
process transparency.
One of the outstanding principles of a PSM® is its capability
to adjust each roll under load, fully automated and in real
time. The adjustment under load function is made possible
thanks to the advanced design of the 3-roll cassette in combi-
nation with three hydraulic capsules. It provides the opera-
tor with the opportunity to optimize the bar shape during the
rolling process. The hydraulic capsules can adjust all three
rolls concentrically. Where required the system is also able
to individually adjust one or all three rolls independently.
As a result, symmetrical as well as unsymmetrical posi-
tioning adjustments of individual rolls under load pro-
vide opportunities for final tuned optimization of the net
shape tolerances. This is made possible thanks to the ad-
vanced closed loop Technological Control System (TCS),
which also provides plant operators with full automated
process transparency, including pass and roll position
and on-line correction, as well as rolling force measure-
ment and active, fully automated overload protection.
Together with sophisticated control and automation
systems, this opens up unique possibilities for optimiz-
ing products and processes. Furthermore, the system

No limitation
Recent PSM® installation in a SBQ/special steel bar mill
is able to automatically compensate individual mill spring,
feeder variations and bar entry impacts. It is also able
to level out temperature variations along the bar.
