A long term CMA client completed a new steel processing line in 2006. The Decamber line takes slit steel coils up to 200mm wide x 12.7mm thickness, and feeds the uncoiled strip through a leveller, a 2 high 3 MN rolling mill, an edge preparation section, followed by cutting to length and bundling for downstream processing.

  • Concept design consulting.
  • Detailed design & supply of the 350/ 180 Bar hydraulic power unit and valve stands.
  • Detailed design & supply of the rolling mill gauge control system and hydraulics (differential force and position control across the work rolls).
  • Detailed design & supply of the flying shear travel and blade control & hydraulic systems.
  • Development of local ModBus network between hydraulic controller & PLC.
  • Site installation of hydraulic equipment and site-run pipework.
  • Commissioning and ongoing process development and support.
