The Tension Control by using CDM of the Full Stand Hot Finishing Mill

We describe the looper controller design for a hot strip mill. The looper is to control the strip tension which influences on the width of the strip. It is very important to control the looper control of the hot strip mill, but difficult to control the looper, because there exists on mutual interaction among strip gauge, looper angle, and strip tension. In this paper, we present the modeling for the hot strip finishing mill to control the tension of the strip and suggest a cross control method of full-stand hot strip finishing mill. The cross control is a very simple method that allows non-interacting control.
