Role Objective

To act as a technical specialist in rolling operations ,ensuring accurate control of rolling parameters, loop formation, and inter-stand tension to achieve stable deformation of billets into wire rod with consistent quality, optimized productivity, and minimal process disturbances.

Role Responsibilities

Rolling Operation: Control and stabilize rolling process across stands ensuring uniform deformation and smooth material flow.

Process Parameter Control: Maintain and optimize speed, temperature,

reduction ratio, and inter-stand synchronization.

Loop Control: Monitor and maintain proper loop formation between stands to regulate inter-stand tension and avoid cobbles.

Tension Control: Ensure controlled/low-tension rolling by balancing stand speeds and loop height to prevent defects.

Block Mill Awareness: Maintain upstream conditions as per downstream block mill requirements (temperature window, speed, size control).

IBA (Process Data Acquisition & Analysis): Analyze real-time data (motor load,

speed, temperature) to identify deviations and optimize process stability.

Heat Sequence: Ensure proper billet sequencing to maintain thermal consistency.

Controlled Cooling: Regulate cooling to achieve required metallurgical properties and prevent defects.

Quality Assurance:



Maintain dimensional accuracy, ovality control, and surface quality.

Troubleshooting: Resolve loop instability, tension variation, cobbles, and stand overloading issues.

Lubrication: Ensure proper lubrication of stands, guides, and bearings.

Coordination: Align with reheating furnace and downstream block mill operations.

Safety: Follow PPE, LOTO, and 5S practices.

Reporting: Maintain shift logs, parameter trends, and deviation reports.
