Metals

The manufacture of consistently high quality finished metals is a must in today’s competitive market. Obtaining this finish demands precision and repeatability in terms of performance, control and long term reliability from machinery. Manufacturers are continually striving to develop and upgrade plant equipment to meet production targets and the quality levels demanded by the market.

AC, DC and Servo Drives from Control Techniques can improve your process control to enhance the finish quality, plant productivity and yield. Products and application solutions are supported globally through our Automation Center network. Our engineers located around the world have the necessary in-depth process and application knowledge of metals manufacturing.

Control Techniques experience covers Continuous Casters, Hot & Cold Rolling Mills, Skin Pass Mills, Pickle Lines, Annealing Lines, Coating Lines, Tension Leveling Lines, Heavy & Light gauge Foil Rolling Mills (Rougher, Intermediate, Finishing) through to Cut-To-Length Lines and Slitter/Separator Machines.

We provide drive based application solutions for coilers, sectional tension control, cutting and forming that provide superior machine performance when compared to traditional PLC based solutions.

Our highly reliable energy efficient drives and motors are being applied to new machines and integrated into existing process lines and automation systems.
