PLUTON in cooperation with transresch Antriebssysteme Berlin GmbH, Germany, had implemented a project on run-out table electric drives modernization and automated process control system for rolling strip transportation from the last finishing mill to coiling machines, folding machines or flying shears.
The following tasks were solved as the result of project implementation:
providing maximum automation of rolling table electric drives control process;
excluding appearance of rolled metal defects because of transportation;
providing automatic and manual rolling table control modes, strip transportation speed setting modes, possibility to set individual speed for each group;
improving significantly electric drive operation dynamics in order to increase productivity and decrease downtime;
providing overall automatic control of all ACS TP units and electric drive with data visualization and faults in operation archiving;
providing integration of rolling table control system into rolling mill automatic control system;
decreasing power consumption and feeding transformer peak current loads in dynamic operation modes;
excluding consumption of reactive power by rolling table drive.
