Roll Force Measurement

ABB’s Millmate roll force measurement system is the perfect choice for measuring roll force in both hot rolling and cold rolling mills, thereby achieving correct roll gap settings and force distribution.

Overview

The rolling mill force system is proven to be exceptionally robust and resilient to high forces as well as aggressive mill agents. The load cells are calibration free, can withstand overloads up to 7 times the nominal force, and have an impressive life length. The load cells come in different sizes from 0.1MN up to 60MN.
