The modeling for the looper of a hot strip finishing mill to control the tension of the strip is presented. The looper is an arm pushing against the strip between stands in a tandem mill to keep the strip tension constant and to isolate the interactions of the adjacent stands. Tension is influenced by the difference in mass flow through the up stream and down-stream rolling stands. Tension is critical to strip quality, influencing width, gauge, and shape. This paper presents how looper angle and strip tension are controlled for a hot strip 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. The cross control is a very simple method that allows non-interacting control.

This test was performed on the hydraulic automatic gauge control(AGC) system of adaptive mass flow method. Fundamental purpose of this study are performance evaluation of this AGC system under the actual rolling condition. It was concluded that the response of AGC system depends on the dynamic characteristics of a reel motor or roll position. The test results are as follows : 1) The control method of reel motor current is better than than of the roll position as AGC system. 2) The more steel strip thickness of delivery side is thick, the larger the gauge deviation is large, and the more it is thin, the larger the gauge deviation rate is large. 3) Because the gauge deviation is large at acceleration and deceleration speed than steady speed, so AGC system is better to adopt over 50m/min. By applying this AGC system, not only the accurary in strip thickness were improved but also productivity was improved dramatically.

The eigenstructure assignment is useful tool that allows the designer to satisfy damping, settling time, and mode decoupling specifications directly by choosing eigenvalue and eigenvectors. Desired eigenvalue and eigenvector are chosen to satisfy the desired responses.

The endless hot rolling has been focused as an innovative process technology for increasing the productivity drastically and reducing the imperfection of quality in hot rolled steel strip. To realize it in actual mill, a lots of new facilities such as bar coiler, movable LASER welder and high speed strip shear should be equipped. And also it is necessary to develop the control technique for changing the roll gap and rolling speed during rolling, which is named as Flying Gap and Speed Change control technology. To prevent a strip rupture caused by excessive tension, it is very important to minimize fluctuations in strip thickness and intension during FGSC control. In this paper, the mathematical model for FGSC control algorithm was suggested and dynamic simulation is performed to accertain the effect of suggested control method on fluctuations in strip thickness and tension. For endless hot rolling simulation, a lots of FGSC control situations, for instance - strip thickness change from strip to strip - strip width change from strip to strip - carbon content change from strip to strip are considered.

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.

A simulation of hot strip finishing mill automatic gauge control (AGC) system is built, which is divided into four modules such as rolling mill system, AGC module, looper system and strip model. The rolling mill system is built by mechanism modeling, the looper system and strip model are built by function modeling, and the AGC model is tried to use intelligent control of a multi-function AGC system. The target is attempted to use this simulation object to minimize finisher exit strip thickness deviation resulting from strip entry thickness disturbance and rolling force deviation. Simulation results show that the result of this AGC/LPC synthetical system module simulation is quite close to the actual result. The simulation system can also analyze most kinds of disturbance which affect the rolling process. It is proved that the system can represent practical situation of hot strip finishing mill process control, and be used as a basic platform of research and development for researcher and engineer.

Flatness of cold rolled strip is vital to the quality of the product and productivity of the mill. Therefore, in recent year requirement for flatness control in strip rolling have become increasingly severe. The necessity for more accurate automatic gauge control and automatic flatness control(AFC) has increased by customer's requirement for cold rolled steel sheets with thinner gauge and better flatness quality. In this paper, the performance and functions of AFC system installed on the 4 hi-reversing mill has been investigated under actual conditions. The test results are as follows : The more strip thickness is thick, the smaller the I-value. The I-value is a strain measured by stressometer. Complex distributions of strip tension are controlled to remove not only a quarter buckle but also a simple center wave and edge wave. The defects caused by poor flatness have been drastically decreased. And a proper coolant temperature for work roll cooling system on the AFC system is about $50~55^{\circ}C$.
