Abstract

In this paper, we suggest a dimensional controller to produce a different thickness strip without adding production facilities at the same steel. We describe the model for the non-linear thickness and speed setup, and drive a variation of the speed and thickness with Talyor expansion. The control algorithm is composed of 8 steps and the transient condition is added in order to maintain a mass flow between stands. A simulator is developed in order to verify the algorithm, and includes a non-linear rolling model, the tension model, AGC model, the disturbance model, and so on. From the simulation results by disturbances, we show that the thickness, tension and looper angle are converged to the set condition when we change the rolling conditions.
