Boskay Metal, Rolling Mill Automation System, Multi-Cutting Project

As part of the expansion of the previously established Rolling Mill Automation System at Boskay Metal, the Multi-Cutting Project has been carried out:

Parameterization of Drives
Updating of the Panel Project
Preparation and commissioning of PLC/HMI Programs

The project utilized:

Siemens S7-315 CPU
Weintek MT8121XE HMI
Danfoss AC Drives (Profibus Communication)

The automation system controls the automatic and manual operations of the hydraulic pumps (Water Spray Pumps, Water Circulation Pumps, Movement Pumps, Lubrication Pumps) and fans (Transmission Cooling Fan, Hydraulic Cooling Fans) as well as the AC Drives used in the Saw Movement.
In automatic operation, when the desired iron lengths are entered as a set, the Moving Saws precisely position themselves and perform the cutting.
