Project Summery
There are Several 6 Hi Rolling Mill with DC motors and DC drives running worldwide.
Now DC motors and DC drives are getting obsolete from the market, and all new mills
are with AC supply system with AC Motors and AC Drives.
The DC motors are expensive and still are in use. But the DC drive manufacturing
support is not available with old techniques.
These DC drives were in two parts, Control electronics and Power sections.
The original Drive suppliers have migrated to new technology. And not able to support
with spare parts of old supplied systems (mainly Electronic Cards).
Many customer do not have adequate stock of spares. Those who are having will get
vanish soon.
Due to many tailor made components customer were dependent on Drive supplier.
The alternative with customer is either go with new DC drive technology or Replace
the complete drive and MOTOR
CMIA has develop a solution in which no drive replacement is required and can be
installed in very short downtime.

Innovation
CMIA was observing the scenario and did brainstorming on producing these obsolete
cards.
This was not feasible due to volume and availability of electronics components.
Then a detail study is made on the gate trigger current of thyristors and few efforts
were made to developed driver cards locally.
There were no opportunity to test this developments and it was very risky job.
During this study we came across that the driver current of one of driver card is able
to drive multiple thyristors without additional hardware.
With this hint we develop the solution and installed at one of customers location.
In this solution we replaced all proprietary items of supplier with generally available
items in market.
All the tailored made items were replaced with standard products available in market.

Breakthroughs
We proposed this solution to M/s Bhushan steel sahibabad. M/s Bhushan Steel
convinced with our solution and issued the purchase order in 2013.
The mill is revamped in nov2013 and since then working as per the expectation
without a single problem till date.
Our another customer m/s YKGI Malyesia had severe problems in their mill for whom
we support extensively. M/S YKGI placed order on us in DEC 2014. the project was
commissioned in march 2015 and since then the mill is working very well since last
one year not a single problem has been reported.
M/S Bhushan Khopoli and M/S TAT Metal Turkey is discussing the proposal with
CMIA for same revamp.
For both the project we could optimised and execute the schedule in 15 days..
The project plan was executed so precisely that we could put the mill in operation on
14th day and with fully functional for production.

Benefits to Customer
Customer will not be dependent on CMIA or any other party for spares in future as all
parts can be purchased from open market.
The life of revamp solution is more than the life of replacing all drives with new
product.
No effect on mill performance.
No software changes required.
Easy for maintenance
