The reliability of EIC systems in hot rolling mill is indispensable and very important in order to maintain stable production. Signals obtained from sensors and control system should be analyzed to monitor the condition of down coiler in hot rolling mill. We develope a monitoring system of down coiler which is composed of three parts (1) data acquisition and MMI (2) signal processing and analyzing, and (3) automatic data saving. Also it is designed to enable to inform users the abnormal conditions of down coiler. This developed system is expected to make it possible to reduce long downtime, secure high facility precision, and maintain high control levels.

In this paper, we propose an LTBC (Low Tension and Load Balance Control) scheme to improve a coiling shape control by reduction the tension fluctuation by the torque disturbance in the down coiler process of hot strip mills. The proposed controller is a combination of an LTC to control the overload at load-on in the mandrel and an LBC to regulate the load balance of the upper and bottom pinch roll. A tension calculation model is suggested with the concept of the tension deviation. The effectiveness of the proposed control scheme is verified from simulation under a disturbance of the pinch roll torque. Using a field test, we show that the performance of the shape and tension control is improved by the LTBC control.

We developed an LSDC (Load Shift and Load Distribution Control) technology in order to improve coil quality and productivity by reducing tension fluctuation especially for the tail of the strip in the down coiler in hot strip mills. To adapt the new controller, the torque and speed distribution between the zero pinch roll, pinch roll, and mandrel are needed. The proposed controller is a combination of an LSC to share the tension between the mill stand and the mandrel, and an LDC to shift the torque load from the zero pinch roll to the pinch roll. From the simulation, the proposed controller is verified under the torque disturbance. Using a field test, the torque deviation decreased by nearly 50% through utilization of the LSDC control.

To have high flatness quality of hot rolled strip in the hot strip finishing mill train, a new inter-stand tension profile measuring device of segmented looper roll type(coined as Flatness Sensing Inter-stand Looper, FlatSIL) and a new flatness control system have been developed in this study. The device measures the strip tension profile across the strip width and informs the strip wave pattern to new flatness control system where work roll bending mode to relieve the strip wave is determined. The existing automatic shape control system which uses laser type shape-meter installed at the outlet of the last finishing mill stand strip tension between down coiler and last finishig mill since the latent wave concealed by the strip tension between down coiler and last finishing mill stand cannot be measured by the laser distance-meter. Thus the existing shape control system is not able to control the flatness through the full strip length. The new flatness control system, however, works for full strip length during strip rolling as far as the tension profile measuring device and work roll bender are on. With the new flatness control system, work roll bender is automatically controller to minimize the latent wave of the running strip and the flatness quality as well as strip travelling stability has been noticeably improved from strip head through body to tail.

On the contrary to the increasing needs of shape qualities, most of quality inspections are carried out by manual or operator's insight. To find the causes of shape inferiority, it is required to gather and analyze the shape measurement data. As a result the winding profile measurement system ($TELE-SCANNER^{(R)}$) is developed to analyze the coiling process and automate the manual measuring process for winding profile of hot-rolled coils. The winding profile measurement system measures and analyzes winding profile shapes of hot-rolled coils, and classifies them into several dominant patterns that are related to normal or abnormal mechanical conditions of down-coiler. The system also contains analysis software to quantify the winding profile shapes and patterns, and to produce statistics to help search the causes of profile shape inferiority.

Today, hot rolled mill plant are currently operating 24 hours a day. The main processes of hot-rolled steel mill are Reheating Furnace, Roughing Mill, Fishing Mill and the Down Coiler. In the process checking over the thickness and width of rolled material, temperature control is an important factor. It is quite often the cause of the work breakdown and find a bad elements for product. After the shipping out the product, when a claim occurs requires an investigation. In each process of the conventional thickness gauge, width, and thermometer. Operation by an independent data acquisition and this monitoring is problematic and straining of the operator. The monitoring process the data of each function and incorporate monitoring results can also check future work. The installation of this system will improve our efficiency and productivity. In the rolling process by developing more efficient operating quality monitoring system, this will be made possible.
