Automation System for Work Rolls: Roll Eccentricity Expert

The Roll Eccentricity Expert is an advanced control system that eliminates roll eccentricity and minimizes disturbances in strip thickness quality. This innovative technology ensures precise control over corrective roll positions, significantly enhancing the quality and consistency of the final product. It integrates seamlessly into existing mill operations, providing a reliable solution to a common challenge in rolling mills and ensuring optimal performance and product quality. The system is dedicated to correcting even minor deficiencies in roll shape in real time.

The Roll Eccentricity Expert is an innovative control system that minimizes roll eccentricity effects, offering a comprehensive solution to the persistent problem of roll-induced thickness variations. It employs a fully digital approach, using advanced algorithms to analyze and counteract oscillations caused by roll eccentricity. The system addresses oscillations up to the fourth harmonics for backup rolls and the fundamental frequency for work rolls, helping to maintain uniform strip thickness throughout the rolling process.

A standout feature is its seamless integration with existing hydraulic gap control systems. It dynamically adjusts roll positions in real time based on precise roll force or tension measurement. This proactive adjustment maintains the target strip thickness and reduces mechanical stress on equipment, extending the lifespan of mill components.

The system's observer-based control strategy allows continuous monitoring and adjustment, ensuring prompt correction of deviations. This results in a significant reduction in scrap rates and an improved yield, effectively minimizing the negative impact of roll eccentricity on the final product. By providing a stable and consistent rolling environment, the system enhances production efficiency and reliability, delivering substantial benefits to steel producers. With a focus on precision and efficiency, the Roll Eccentricity Expert improves both product quality and operational efficiency.
