What People Are Saying About
LINEBOW  Roll Pass Design Programs

“Linebow programs are the most useful computer programs I have ever used, for roll pass designing. I think every roll pass designer must have them.”
Ansar Hussain Rizvi, Junior Executive (Technical),
Peoples Steel Mills Limited, Pakistan

"The Linebow programs were of good use to us. Learning from your software and interaction with you for us has been very high. Your service levels are really impressive, especially in terms of personalization and tailoring of the software features to our needs."

“Unersetzlich ist das Computerprogramm 'Twopass' von Herrn Dr.-Ing. Annibale Izzo mit vollständigen Berechnung aller Belastungen, wie Biegespannungen, Walzdrücke, Drehmomente usw. in den Walzen. Das Programm berücksichtigt alle denkbaren Kalibrierungen und Walzgutqualitäten. Von Herrn Dr. Izzo gibt es noch im Linebow SW-Paket das umfangreiche Programm 'Desfile' zur Berechnung der kompletten Kalibrierung von Draht- und Stabstahlstraßen. Ich selbst arbeite mit beiden Programmen. Bei einer Eingabezeit von ca. 3 Minute erhält man in Sekunden die komplette Kalibrierung!”

“These programmes straight replace age old personalised knowledge bank. I found them very useful for training of rolling mill engineers and foremen.”

“The Linebow software package, with its powerful simulation tools, allowed us to previously test our proposed pass schedules before applying them in our laboratorial bar mills. Therefore we were able to avoid many misruns and operational problems that frequently scrapped our experiments before we had these programs. I wish we could have something so powerful for the simulation of cold rolling processes...”

“Linebow programs are excellent tools for hot rolling mill pass design and worth for price.”

“The Linebow programs are indispensable in our line of work; they are fairly easy to use and take most of the guesswork out of roll pass design.”
Eric P. Balmaceda, Production Head,
Steel Asia Manufacturing Corporation, Philippines

“The mill that I use the programs for is still being installed at the moment and they are actively juggling both finances and millstand layouts. I may have another job redoing the pass design in due course. However, I found the programs invaluable in establishing the basic design parameters, mill powers and gearbox ratios. It certainly assisted immensely in sorting out the additional electrical and mechanical equipment to complete the mill.”
