Strip Width Controller for Finishing Mills

The Strip Width Controller system is a innovative solution for digitally model-based improvement of steel strip width deviations in the finishing mill, designed to address and correct width deviations in real time. This innovative technology ensures advanced control over strip width, significantly enhancing the quality and consistency of the final product. By integrating seamlessly into existing automation systems, this digital model-based improvement system of steel strip width deviations provides a reliable solution to a common challenge in rolling mills, ensuring optimal performance and product quality through advanced digital modeling techniques.

The Strip Width Controller allows for digital model-based improvement of steel strip width deviations, utilizing sophisticated feed-forward and feedback control mechanisms to address width deviations. This system employs a model-based approach to predict and correct deviations caused by inhomogeneous temperature distributions along the strip and variations in entry width. The feed-forward control reduces these deviations by manipulating tensions between the stands of the finishing mill, effectively compensating for low-frequency width variations.

The key to the effectiveness of digital model-based compensation for steel strip width lies in its ability to integrate various measurement instruments, including standard width measurements after the roughing mill and finishing mill, as well as temperature measurements taken in front of the finishing mill. These inputs enable the system to adjust tensions and dynamically achieve precise width control. The digital model-based improvement of steel strip width deviations ensures that the strip maintains its desired dimensions throughout the rolling process, enhancing product quality and increasing yield.
