Miniature wire rolling mill - Programming just like in a real production facility

Miniature wire rolling mill

How do you learn to program a modern industrial plant without halting production? At voestalpine Wire Rod Austria, apprentices do just that: on a mini-scale wire rolling mill they developed themselves. From the beam furnace to the rolling mill to the high-bay warehouse, our apprentices can understand processes, test control systems, and develop programs - just as they would on the real plant.
