SUMMARY:Millstand monitoring in Genius CM: Insight to main rolling equipment
DESCRIPTION:Digitalization in metallurgical industry is a focus in current development enabling process engineers and maintenance staff to optimize their processes and help solving problems in their daily work. Condition monitoring systems collecting relevant data from the process is aiming at monitoring the health of the main components. SMS groups Genius CM program package is offering several monitoring functions in the field of vibration analysis and mechanical and hydraulic machine parts making use of field units for local data collection and analyzing process data to derive information on the condition of the equipment.

Within the rolling equipment of hot strip mills the conditions of the mill stands is of major importance. Bad mechanical conditions can lead to rolling problems e.g. roll positioning issues, thickness errors, cambered strips, tailend cobbles, strip surface defects or unplanned roll changes. New monitoring functions have been developed and applied focusing on the integrity of the mill stand. These are analyzing 
-	the parallelism of the rolls indicating unacceptable wear conditions in the stands
-	the hysteresis of the roll positioning equipment monitoring the conditions in the force transmission components
-	and the roll force measurement equipment.
Model based calculations and helping functions are targeting at optimal user support to determine the most critical equipment conditions and focus on the relevant steps for maintenance and required service actions.

The paper gives a short introduction on the modular Genius CM software package and describes the new developed monitoring functions. Application cases of different hot rolling mills will give an insight of the possibilities for trouble shooting and measures to detect and solve acute problems in daily mill operation.
