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

The simulation system, measuring approximately 1 x 1 meter, faithfully replicates the actual wire rolling mill in St. Peter/Freienstein. 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.

In this way, aspiring mechatronics engineers and electrical engineers gain valuable hands-on experience in the fields of automation and Industry 4.0 even during their training. Making mistakes, experimenting, and learning from them is expressly encouraged here.

With projects like the mini rolling mill, voestalpine Wire Rod Austria is making targeted investments in training the skilled workers of tomorrow. After all, the best way to understand modern technology is to try it out for yourself.
