To reduce longitudinal gauge deviations of the head sections at the hot strip mill rolling it is reasonable to profile band of variable thickness due to the length provided by the linear motion of the screw-down arrangements under load. The paper considers the structure of the automatic gauge control system (ACGS) of the indirect type. It estimates the accuracy of screwdown arrangement position control in the single-loop automatic position control system. It also justifies the use of automatic position combined control system. The introduction of the additional channel of control due to the first derivative of the reference input signal was proved to provide the required accuracy values of the strip gauge control. The paper presents data of the pilot study of the developed system at OJSC Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works' mill 2,000; they confirm its efficiency.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
