Wedge Camber Expert

The Wedge and Camber Expert is an advanced solution designed to minimize aluminum strip wedge and camber in hot mills. This innovative technology offers precise measurement and control over strip geometry, ensuring high-quality output and reducing the need for manual interventions. By integrating seamlessly with existing mill operations, the Wedge and Camber Expert enhances production efficiency and product consistency, providing a distinct competitive advantage in the aluminum industry.

The Wedge and Camber Expert is designed to minimize aluminum strip wedge and camber by employing a feedback mechanism that uses real-time data from a camera system to detect and correct deviations in strip geometry. This system is particularly effective in the roughing mill, where it utilizes actuator tilting to minimize end hooks and maintain strip alignment as it progresses to the finishing mill.

A key innovation of this system is its ability to induce lateral material flow through controlled lateral forces, effectively decoupling aluminum strip wedge and camber issues. By applying precise lateral forces, the system adjusts the material flow within the roll gap, minimizing wedge without introducing camber. This approach not only enhances the quality of the final product but also reduces wear on mill components by minimizing unnecessary mechanical stress.

The Wedge and Camber Expert's automation scheme allows for seamless integration with existing mill infrastructure, making it an efficient and cost-effective solution for producers seeking to enhance their manufacturing processes. By providing a stable and consistent rolling environment, this system significantly reduces the incidence of defects, thereby improving yield and reducing waste.
