A Survey of the Looper-tension Control Technology in Hot Rolling Mills
نویسندگان
چکیده
Looper and tension control is important in hot strip mills because it affects the strip quality as well as strip threading. Moreover, the most difficult challange in the controller design and control performance comes from the interaction between looper angle and strip tension. Disturbances from several sources also cause a deterioration in control performance, and thus they should be rejected effectively by proper control algorithms. Up to now, various kinds of control schemes have been proposed and applied to this control problem. Recently nevertheless, strict demand for strip quality by the market has required improved approaches to this control area. This paper investigates strong and weak points of various control algorithms proposed in academia as well as industry. It also explores the potential of future technology in this area.

متن کاملAn MPC Strategy for Hot Rolling Mills and Applications to Strip Threading Control Problems
Strip threadability is an ability to keep a strip flowing smoothly between interstands and run-out tables without severe longitudinal and lateral movements. The occurrence of a longitudinal movement is mainly related to looper–tension control performance, while a lateral movement is affected by steering control actions. Unstable threading may induce folding and pinching of a strip, thus resulti...
متن کاملInvestigations into the Effect of Tension Between the Stands of the Finishing Mill on Width Control in a Hot Rolling Process
This paper is concerned with investigations into the effect of tension between the stands of the finishing mill on width control in a hot rolling process. An analysis is given to predict satisfactorily the variation in width due to spreading and also due to strip tension between the stands. Wusatowski's model which is developed to give an account of spreading is specified and a similar model to...
