Study on Torsional Vibration of Six High Cold Rolling Mill

A dynamically generated fuzzy neural network and its application to torsional vibration control of tandem cold rolling mill spindles

Based on the model of Higgins and Goodman, we describe a dynamically generated fuzzy neural network (DGFNN) approach to control, from input–output data, using on-line learning. The DGFNN is complete with the following powerful features drawn or modified from the existing literature: (1) a small FNN is created from scratch—there is no need to specify initial network architecture, initial members...

A Cold Rolling Mill Model for Unwinding Diagnosis

A model is presented which describes the uncoiling process of a rolling mill in fault-less and in faulty situations. This model is implemented in the DYMOLA modelling and simulation environment. It is used for two purposes: first for the simulation of the unwinding process and second for model-based fault diagnosis. For the latter diagnostic task, a simplified model is derived. Results of the s...

High-tech for Thin Sheet Modernization of a Tandem Cold Rolling Mill at Arcelor Eisenhüttenstadt

Rolling mill simulator A new platform for testing, analysis and optimization of cold rolling mills

The cold rolling of flat metal products especially in tandem or multi-stand mills is a highly complex process where the product quality is influenced by various aspects. With the help of a hardware-in-the-loop simulator, the complete rolling process can be simulated and tested in real-time. This allows pre-commissioning and pre-optimizations before the actual commissioning work is done on the p...

Modeling of thin strip profile during cold rolling on roll crossing and shifting mill

Strip profile control in cold rolling of thin strip is a difficult and challenge problem found in industry. Currently using the novel type of strip rolling mill, such as the work roll crossing and shifting is the one of the main methods to control the strip profile quality in cold rolling. In this paper, 3-D finite element simulation models of the thin strip profile in cold rolling for the work...
