Hot rolling and heavy plate production are always associated with great forces. Shock, vibration and applied forces are typical here: for example, when rolling and cooling or cutting to finished dimensions along with the accompanying inspection steps. The equipment also needs to withstand moisture on the rolling mill caused by water cooling.

As a heavy plate producer you need high-performance equipment and suitable regulating devices at every process stage. With Balluff you get first-class technology to master all the stages from the slab to the coil: fieldbus modules, temperature sensors, position measuring systems, industrial RFID systems and vision sensors.
