Sesto San Giovanni, Italy, has won an order to supply ThyssenKrupp Acciai Speciali with automation and electrical systems for its new Sendzimir rolling mill No. 7 in Terni, Italy. The new plant is part of a scheduled investment program for stainless steel. The order, totalling EUR 30 million, was won by a consortium of companies headed by SMS Demag AG of Dusseldorf, Germany, and includes the Milan-based units of SMS Demag and ABB. The turnkey project will be completed over the next few months, with manufacturing start-up scheduled for December 2006. ABB is responsible for supplying all electrical parts and automation, plus technology packages for controlling the thickness and flatness of the product using control algorithms for stainless steel patented by ABB. The plant will feature ABB’s Stressometer flatness measuring system, which simultaneously measures belt flatness at both rolling mill in-feed and out-feed, every 300mm across the width of the strip. The new Terni plant is a MB 22 B 54"-type Sendzimir rolling mill for cold-rolling ferritic and austenitic steels. Maximum coil width is 1370mm and this will be rolled to a thickness of up to 0.2 mm at a rolling speed of 800m a minute with maximum projected output of 100,000 tonnes per year.
