Crop Optimization

During the rolling process in hot strip rolling mills may occur irregularly shaped head and tail of the slab. This may cause problems when rolled. Crop optimization is the process by which an ideal length of material is trimmed off the head and tail end of each plate due to an accurate and fast width measuring

Crop optimization systems by OPTOLOGIC capture precise geometric contours of head and tail of the slab and determine the optimum cut lines.

Advantages

Determination of the optimum cut lines
Minimization of crop losses through crop geometry optimization
No influence by passline variations due to irregularly shaped head and tail ends of the plate (positive or negative ski)
Remote maintenance possible
Imaging of the head and tail
