Automated Steel Processing
Control Concepts services control systems for steel manufacturing equipment and machinery, including those for:
- Slitting steel
- Cutting to length
- Corrugating
- Stamping
- Coating
We repair and upgrade controls and replace obsolete or outdated equipment with control systems that improve machine safety and performance speed so you can make rapid, accurate production changes.
We service almost every brand.
Steel manufacturing
- According to the World Steel Association, 2014 global crude steel production reached 1.665 million metric tonnes.
- The steel recycling rate was 88% in 2012 (Steel.org).
- Steel can be galvanized, zinc-coated, and coated with special paints for a variety of uses.
- Steel can be stamped, corrugated, slit, and shaped into almost anything you need.
All of these processes are partially or fully automated. That means miles of conveyors and countless guides, rollers, stamps, molds, cutters, sprayers, dippers, and other pieces of equipment used to create, shape, cut, and coat steel products. All processes have one thing in common: they are automated.
Automation requires electronic and electrical drives, logic controllers, motors, and other controls. What happens to the line when a motor controller goes bad? It stops. How much production time do you lose off that line? Too much. Controls can be repaired, replaced, upgraded, and retrofitted on-site by an experienced Control Concepts engineer or technician, no matter where your facility is located. You do not have time to waste. The world is built with steel and is depending on you.
You can depend on Control Concepts.
