shapeTECH – the unique flatness measurement and flatness control system s
It is precisely designed to meet the mechanical and process-technological requirements of these lines – from the particularly long strip path between the leveler and the flatness measurement system to the high demands on stability and dynamics of the flatness control.
The combination of segmented measuring roll, a PLC-based measurement evaluation algorithm (on Siemens S7-1500), and an innovative, model-based control approach ("Internal Model Control") enables a previously unattainable level of precision, robustness, and responsiveness – even with demanding materials.
