ROLLING USING R-FACTORS

Quad has condensed 25 years of specialized Operator Roller Training experience into a new operator friendly computer based system that graphically shows the mill opertor how the mill is set up, allowing for:

System Objectives:

Safer, faster product startups
Reduced yield losses with fewer cobbles and off-section bars
Effective product troubleshooting to improve shift efficiency and long term product performance

Rolling using R-factors Benefits:

Safer mill environment, with reduced need to measure hot moving bars, removing the operator from the "Line of Fire"
Quickly identify setup errors, after the first bar is rolled
Compares current mill settings to the setup sheet "company Standard"
Allows operators to adjust stands in a proactive and timely manner, before worn passes result in a cobble
Ensures all crews roll a product the same way, through shift changes and from rolling to rolling .

Quad Approach:

Evaluate mill to develop an implementation plan, identify all setup sheet inconsistencies with the pass design & rolling operation, then train opperators both before & after the system is installed to ensure a successful result.

The Quad R-factor System is compatible with QMOS (Quad Mill Operation System) allowing for a simpler implementation and operation.
