Slab Sizing Press Control
In a hot rolling mill, the SSP (Slab Sizing Press) is able to improve productivity by organizing the slab width, however it is only when slab sizing press control that include slab width control and other advanced functions is used with a step press or tapered slab press that the maximum SSP performance can be obtained.
The advantages of slab sizing press control include the following.
- The use of step press functions corrects the loss of width at the front and rear ends of the slab, and can create a high-accuracy slab width along the full length of the strip after a single roughing pass.
- Tapered slab press functions correct variations in the tapered slab width, and can create a uniform slab width through the full length of the slab after a single roughing pass, helping to improve yield.
