The normal adjustment range, of the FPA system, either side of the centreline, is 5mm.

FPA adjustment is normally utilized at the entry side of the rolling mill pass for rounds and square bars. And is essential for the alignment of roller entry guides for control of former and dogbone sections, when multi-slit rolling.
