Title:Optimizing the Tension Leveling ProcessAuthor(s):Lorenz Steinwender, Christoph Salzmann, Klaus Zeman, Konrad KrimpelstätterAbstract:In the metals industry, perfect flatness and outstanding surface quality are crucial factors for the market success of cold-rolled products. Precise simulation models that integrate tension leveling and scale breaking - as well as sophisticated drive concepts for the machine performing the process - optimize overall performance, promote efficient energy consumption and reduce plant investments. The authors describe this smart and green approach.Journal:Metals and MiningEditor(s):Siemens AGPage Reference:page 86-89, 4 page(s)Publishing:2011
