A large steel producer needed to upgrade some of the components on its strip mill line to meet production requirements.
The proper placement of the replacement parts determined how well and how long the machinery would operate, therefore precision measuring was paramount. Additionally, the work had to be performed in a tight timeframe, therefore, there was no room for error or figuring out how to do the job.
The positioning of the upgrade components had be positioned within extremely tight tolerances with respect to key features on the existing mill stand. Shield was retained to provide metrology services to work with field machinists to precisely position the equipment in real time.
Shield quickly and accurately measured all the existing benchmarks required to position the equipment then proceeded to work with site personnel and the machinist to position the blocks within the required tolerances and narrow timeframe.
The work was completed ahead of schedule and the client was provided with a report showing the placement of the equipment well within the required tolerances, which could not be previously achieved.
