Central to the PL/TCM is the direct coupling of pickling and rolling. This ensures a continuous production flow. The main units on the entry side are: a pay-off reel, laser welding machine, tension leveler, turbulence pickling line, and several horizontal strip accumulators. Next in line is the mill section consisting of several mill stands in CVC^® plus design and a continuous exit section with drum shear, double or carousel reel, and, for the most applications, the inspection unit "Rotary Inspect" in either inline or offline arrangement.
