Performance audit brings immediate dividends
In January 2003, California Steel Industries purchased a Millcheck rolling mill shape performance audit for its five stand cold mill at Fontana, California, USA.
The audit set the benchmark of current mill performance and evaluated the impact of potential upgraded instrumentation, actuators and controls and provided diagnosis and correction of specific flatness problems.
A one-week site visit was conducted in April with minimal interruption to production.
During this time, significant opportunities for improvements were made.

The Millcheck report issued in May includes additional recommendations for ongoing shape performance improvements.
