With over 400 installations and 100 patents, Sendzimir knows how to install equipment, make it work, and even improve it. Our engineers are adept at getting new equipment up and running as well as skilled in trouble-shooting and problem-solving existing installations.
Sendzimir’s worldwide service team trains your operators on-site and offers both on- and off-site skills improvement seminars. Our recently published Sendzimir Manual is the definitive guide to the operation of cold rolling mills.
Our worldwide support services procure spare parts for your existing equipment. We can also sell your used machinery or help you find a really good bargain on the secondhand market.
Running a mill properly has often been called an art, not a science. Whether this is true or not, mill operation requires both a knowledge and an understanding of the mill and its workings. In the end, both new and experienced mill operators can benefit from training in the mill they are operating. That training can be a fairly complete course, it can focus on a few problem areas, it can be a refresher session for those who need to bring their skills up to date, or it can take the operation of a mill to new levels of performance. Sendzimir's engineers are well versed in all these areas and continually travel the world, helping operators and associated personnel make their work more effective and efficient.
Some of the topics covered by Sendzimir's training personnel include the following:
explaining the pass reduction logic
explaining total reduction capabilities
discussing shape and factors relating to shape
discussing surface finish and factors influencing surface finish
teaching the science of successfully rolling at high speed
These sessions are usually held
on-site and include both hands-on and theoretical work.
Sendzimir's engineers know the subtle details of installing a Sendzimir mill – details that even the mill builder may not know. Certain components must be assembled in specific ways, paying careful attention to details. If the assembly is not done properly, problems may arise further down the road.
Sendzimir's mill installation service can include supervision of an entire installation or periodic advisory visits. Usually, Sendzimir's services are called for when an installation is nearing completion. The service engineers will review crucial questions with the builders and management to ascertain that nothing has been overlooked, and will run classes for the foreman, operators, helpers, and roll grinding operators.
Mill installation classes cover the following topics:
The theoretical differences between small work roll operations and others, such as the 4-high
The new mill, its parts, and their functions, including:
the screwdown
rolls and roll crowning techniques
taper grinding on the 1st intermediate rolls
crown adjustment manipulation
side eccentric settings
hydraulics and coolant systems
and other topics as well.
