The commissioning and putting into service of slab annealing and flattening line were successfully completed.
The works were conducted jointly with the specialists of CJSC “SPE “Mashprom”.
The line is comprised of two electrically heated furnaces: No.13 (40-meter furnace) and No.14 (16-meter high-temperature furnace), as well as carry-over tables, slab charging and discharging areas and flattening machine of “G&K” manufacture (Germany).
The process control system is built on basis of S7-400 controller of “Siemens” manufacture.
Power controllers of “CD Automation” manufacture (Italy), that showed good performance during commissioning works, are used as contactless heating current switches. Frequency converters ACS 550 of “ABB” manufacture are used as electric motor drives of roller conveyors.
The works performed resulted in installation of up-to-date and reliable heating process control system (temperature accuracy equaling to +/- 2 degrees Celsius), being fully integrated into the shop-floor manufacturing execution system “Titan” (designed by CJSC “ASC”).
