Recent Development of Rolling Mill Drive Equipment

Idea of the virtual rolling mill laboratory

Laboratory tests are crucial in education and training of engineers. Experimental equipment and process simulators are extremely expensive. It is not possible and justified economically to build such laboratories, for educational purposes, in large number of schools. On the other hand, education and training based on video films, etc., is not adequate and personal contact of students with a pro...

Analysis Of Existing Rolling Mill With Prototype Soft Starting Arrangement Of Rolling Mill For Energy Conservation – An Experimental Approach

In this paper an analysis is done on the main drive of rolling mill which consumes about 60 to 70 % of total energy of the plant. The existing rolling mill in India are using the 3 phase induction motor and flywheel to drive the rolling mill. The electric motor transmits the power to flywheel with the help of V-belt. An attempt has made after analysis of existing mill that by using some soft st...

A New Sugar Mill Drive Coupling

When the author left the sugar industry in 1986, he requested and wasgranted permission by Tongaat-Hulett Sugar to commercially exploit the design of the coupling. A milldrive coupling was designed along the same lines as the original Amatikulu couplings, but pricing the various components indicated that the coupling would be too expensive to sell. Thoughts about ways to reduce costs by elimina...

Fuzzy Multiple Stand Tension Control of a Roughing Rolling Mill

∗ Previous address: Department of Automation, Tianjin University, P. R. China Abstract In steel rolling industry, control of hot metal rolling process plays an important role in assuring high product quality and safe process operation. Although many advanced looper control technologies for finishing rolling process have emerged, looperless interstand tension control of roughing rolling mills re...
