Profile measurement of wire rod with multiple data display at Mittal Steel Walzdraht Hochfeld (formerly ISPAT Walzdraht Hochfeld GmbH)

The system at Mittal Steel Hochfeld consists of three gauge heads working independently from each other. They are network-connected to six independent visualisation systems. Anytime each terminal can display data from any gauge head or archived data

The system is connected to the Mittal Steel Hochfeld product data base, receiving customer and product specific data according to the rolling schedule. The measurement is carried out fully automatic. After the rod has been rolled, summarized measurement data is archived in the product data base. Thus, complete documentation of all rods produced is achieved. Production data can be viewed even after the stock has been shipped and customer claims can be analysed in detail at any time.
