Steel

Vibremo provide vibration investigation services to the steel industry, with a particular focus on sheet metal production. Using our machine knowledge and experience, we help steel producers prevent long-term damage to their machinery, and maintain the required quality levels on their product.

Steel is used in countless applications worldwide and production rates are continually increasing. In order to maintain high levels of production, steel manufacturers must ensure that their machinery is performing under the best conditions. Breakdowns and quality issues on output strip can result in reduced productivity for the steel producer, and product rejection by the end customer.

Producers of steel sheet metal often face challenges in achieving the required levels of quality for various reasons. A common cause of quality issues in the steel industry is vibration, which can impact many of the machines involved in sheet metal production, including rolling mills, roll grinders, tension levelers, and more. Vibration in sheet metal production can result in marking on the output strip, commonly referred to as 'chatter marks’. Severe chatter issues not only risk coil rejection, but also have the potential to cause long-term damage to machinery, resulting in increased downtime and maintenance costs.

Vibremo engineers have extensive experience providing vibration investigation services to the steel industry. We help steel producers maintain the required levels of quality on their metal coils and can identify the root cause of vibration and chatter marks. Vibremo can perform vibration inspections on roll grinders and rolling mills, and also offer complete chatter investigation solutions.

Our team can help to identify the root cause of unwanted vibration and give recommendations to mitigate it. By offering targeted solutions, we help steel producers to achieve optimal machine performance and significantly reduce unnecessary downtime.
