Logan Aluminum Inc orders new shape control system from IAS; Logan Aluminum awards IAS an order for a replacement shape control system on a cold rolling mill in Russellville, USA.

In May 2003, Logan Aluminum signed an agreement with Industrial Automation Services (IAS) to design, supply and commission a new replacement shape control system for one of their cold mills.

The new system incorporates the IAS open architecture control system, with an easy to maintain graphical program interface, and takes advantage of the considerable IAS process know-how and local support to provide closed loop roll bending, tilt control and coolant flow control via dynamic spray pattern adjustment.

Included in this package is a new airbearing shapemeter roll and associated equipment being supplied by Shape Technology.

This order and other recent Alcan orders further strengthens the relationship between Logan Aluminum, its owners Arco Aluminum, the Alcan group, and IAS.
