06/18/2015 - Toshiba Mitsubishi-Electric Industrial Systems Corporation (TMEIC) is providing a control system replacement for a continuous descaler and tandem cold mill at a steel finishing facility in Indiana.
This mill produces special cold-rolled steel for the automotive industry.
TMEIC will provide the advanced automation system, including Level 1 programmable controllers, Level 2 supervisory control software, and operator interfaces, all integrated with a high-speed fiber-optic network and shared memory. The replacement control system will interface with the existing motors and variable frequency drives. TMEIC’s scope of supply includes system commissioning, startup, and system performance optimization.
TMEIC’s mill modernization expertise in successfully applying new technologies to existing assets allows its metals customers to offer a wider range of products to their markets.
