Abstract

Chocks Temperature Control is a very important issue in roll life. High temperatures in the chocks can damage the bearings and even start a fire in the mill. Traditional wired systems don´t offer satisfactory results, in practical use. Using Zigbee (802.15.4) wireless technology, due to its very low power consumption, temperature sensors (up to 125^oC) suitable for a tandem cold mill environment have been developed. Complete monitoring system includes repeaters, a base receiver with TCP/IP gateway, and maintenance software. Results obtained in the tandem mill are offered.
