Ten Herkules roll grinding machines for Rizhao Steel
Roll grinders for ESP lines
Herkules offers perfect positioning of the roll grinders and minimal stock removal
The Chinese Rizhao Steel Holding Group has acquired the tenth WS 450 × 6000 CNC Monolith™ roll grinding machine from Herkules. Every plant in the company already uses Herkules machines, which are used to implement Endless Strip Production (ESP) technology. In a combined casting and rolling plant, paper thin hot strip made of liquid steel is produced - a high-precision job that requires perfect rolls and correspondingly precise grinding machines.
The Herkules roll grinding machines impress with their short processing times and reduce the stock removal to a necessary minimum thanks to the measuring and control systems from HCC/KPM. The roll consumption is significantly reduced. In addition to efficient grinding, the Monolith™ technology ensures homogeneous roll surfaces and strict adherence to required machining tolerances.
