Automation Partner for Demanding Steel Production
The production of flat and profile steel involves highly complex control requirements. Real-time capable control systems from Eckelmann Shanghai enable automation solutions that significantly exceed standard industrial systems in terms of performance.
To ensure optimal quality in final products with respect to dimensional accuracy and surface finish — even during fast and multi-stage forming processes — massive rolling forces and tensile stresses (along with many other parameters) must precisely follow set specifications. In this industry, Eckelmann Shanghai has been a recognized expert for decades!
