MORGAN RECEIVES PATENT FOR ARGA SYSTEM
07 June 2000 - Morgan Construction Company

Morgan Construction Company has received confirmation of its patent for an Automatic Roll Group Alignment (ARGA) System from the United States, Japan and Korea.

The inventor credited with this innovation is Ruth E. Kirkwood-Azmat, Process Control Engineer.

According to Kirkwood, 'In conventional rod and bar mills, the finishing stand rolls have multiple grooves to facilitate pass changes. As this is a manual process, it can take hours to complete the process due to the need stop the rolling and to manually change equipment. By using this patented process, the roll pass grooves are aligned automatically during production, taking minutes to complete the process, and in some cases, less than a minute.

'The advantage of this patented process is not only to decrease operational downtime, but also to improve output, setup times, product quality and accuracy, mill control and operating consistency, all of which contribute to lower production costs.'
