Abstract:
A method for operating a casting/rolling system and to a corresponding system for casting and rolling an endless strand material. The casting/rolling system comprises a strand casting machine and a rolling train arranged downstream of the strand casting machine. The method has the following step: controlling the drive for the rollers of the first roller frame of the rolling train by means of a drive control in response to a target value specification of the pass sequence model. Furthermore, the drive of the at least one strand guiding roller is controlled by a strand guiding roller drive control in response to a target value specification of the strand casting machine drive model.
Abstract:
A system for maintaining a continuous speed in a long rolling mill is provided that includes a plurality of guide rollers that feed a billet product from a caster to an entry roll stand along a mill pass line to an exit roll stand. Also, the system includes a plurality of gauges positioned at a plurality of locations along the mill pass line, the gauges perform speed measurement of the billet product passing along the guide rollers. Furthermore, the system includes a logic controller that receives the speed measurement and maintains a speed relationship where the speed between the caster and the entry roll stand is constant as well as the exit speed of the end roll stand is also constant.
Abstract:
A motor speed control device for a rolling mill, which includes a rolling roll that rolls a metal material, a roll rotation shaft directly connected to the rolling roll, a motor rotation shaft that transmits power to the roll rotation shaft, and a motor that drives the motor rotation shaft, includes: a non-contact type speed sensor arranged at a position close to the rolling roll with spacing to a circumferential surface of the roll rotation shaft to detect a roll rotation shaft angular speed of the roll rotation shaft; and a speed controller that controls a speed of the motor based on a comparison value between an actual value and a target angular speed of the rolling roll so that the actual value coincides with the target angular speed. The actual value is the roll rotation shaft angular speed to be fed back to the speed controller.

Abstract:
A slit plant comprises a rest bar (14), for regulating the transversal position of an inlet guide to the moulder unit (12), a rolling unit for reducing the billet to a rolled section having two sections, a cutting box (13) for separating the two sections into two separate strands, one or more rolling units for rolling the two strands (1, 2), pairs of speed and/or section measurers (20, 21) downstream of the cutting box (13), a shear (15). The method for controlling the plant provides measuring the rolling speeds V1 and V2 of each of the two strands (1, 2) and/or of the division step respective sections A1 and A2 of the two strands (1, 2) downstream of the cutting box (13) by means of pairs of measurers; detecting the lengths of the two strands (1, 2) and calculating the difference in length thereof, based on which the plant, in a successive feedback step, is activated to decrease the difference in length between the two strands (1, 2).
Abstract:
Methods and Apparatus to increase the efficiency of roll-forming and leveling systems are described herein. An example strip material processing apparatus are described herein includes a first drive system to drive a first plurality of workrolls and a second drive system to drive a second plurality of workrolls. A controller provides a first command reference to the first drive system. The controller measures a first output parameter of the first drive system when the first drive system operates at the first command reference. The controller determines a second command reference based on the first output parameter and the controller drives the second drive system based on the second command reference.
Abstract:
A cold-rolling train has a plurality of rolling stands and a strip feeding device to which an initial setpoint speed is sent to feed the cold strip to the first stand at an initial actual speed corresponding to the initial setpoint speed. A first setpoint speed is sent to the first stand so that associated rolls rotate. Between the first and next passed-through rolling stand is a thickness detection device detecting a first actual thickness. A base output signal is determined using the first actual and setpoint thicknesses and is used to adjust the first setpoint speed, but not the initial setpoint speed, conforming the first actual to the first setpoint thickness. Between the feeding device and the first rolling stand is an initial thickness detection device detecting an initial actual thickness. The initial setpoint speed is adjusted by a initial feed-forward controller to adjusted a setpoint product mass flow.
