Establish baselines for mill performance and track deviations from standards

Identification of predictive maintenance best practices

When rolling mill equipment deviates from planned alignment specifications it can have significant impact on productivity and product quality. Falk PLI works with each client and piece of equipment to determine acceptable operating parameters and custom designs reports reflecting equipment compliance.

Falk PLI utilizes a combination of laser scanning, laser tracking, and advanced methodology to provide the most comprehensive approach to rolling mill maintenance. These laser technologies allow 3D measurements to be taken on objects more quickly and accurately; yielding excellent statistical redundancy and repeatability.

“3D laser scan models of the furnace hearths are used to identify wear patterns and weak points in the hearth construction. This valuable information has contributed to a significant reduction in furnace tears in the subsequent 12 months.” – ArcelorMittal Research
