    摘要: A position controller that controls an actuator that sets a roll gap of a roll stand by determining an actuating variable (q) for the actuator as a function of a resulting position target value (s*) and a position actual value(s) of the actuator. The (s*) is determined with a resulting base target value (s1*), which is determined as the sum of an initial base target value (s0*) and an additional target value (δs1*), which is determined by a determination element with an inlet-end actual tension (ZE) and an inlet-end reference tension (ZER) and/or with an outlet-end actual tension (ZA) and an outlet-end reference tension (ZAR). Instead of (ZE) and (ZA), the corresponding target tensions (ZE*, ZA*) of corresponding tension control operations can also be used. However, in both cases, (ZER) and (ZAR) are variables that differ from (ZE*) and (ZA*).

    摘要: A processing plant for metal strips (1) has a welding machine, a strip store downstream of the welding machine and a processing device downstream of the strip store. The metal strips are welded to form a continuous strip with the welding machine, which is stored in the strip store and output from there to the processing device. The metal strips are connected via diagonally extending weld seams. To join the weld seams, first the strip head (2) and the strip foot (3) of the metal strips are twisted and the two strips are connected by forming the weld seam. The weld seam extends only transversely to the transport direction (x) during the welding process. Finally, the strip head and the strip foot of the metal strips are twisted back again. As a result, the weld seam now extends diagonally to the transport direction (x).

    摘要: A cooling section (2) is situated in a rolling line or upstream or downstream of the rolling line. A hot metal rolled material (1) is cooled in the cooling section. A control device (13) of the cooling section (2) dynamically determines setpoint actuation states (S1*) for control valves (10) situated in supply lines (8) and actuates the control valves (10) accordingly. Main flows (F1) of a liquid, water-based coolant (7) are supplied to application devices (6) of the cooling section (2) via the supply lines (8) in accordance with the actuation. The supply lines (8) conduct the main flows (F1) to buffer regions (12) of the application devices (6). Proceeding from there, cooling flows (F) of the coolant (7) are applied to the hot rolled material (1). The control device (13) also dynamically determines setpoint actuation states (S2*) for active devices (16) and actuates the active devices (16) accordingly. The active devices (16) conduct additional flows (F2) of a further medium (18) to the buffer regions (12) via further supply lines (17) in accordance with the actuation. The cooling flows (F) depend on both the main flows (F1) and the additional flows (F2). The additional flows (F2) are positive or negative depending on the actuation state (S2*) of the active devices (16). The control device (13) adjusts the additional flows (F2) by correspondingly actuating the active devices (16) such that the cooling flows (F) are as identical as possible to setpoint flows (F*) of the coolant (7) at all times.

    摘要: Slabs pass through a furnace in a conveying direction, are heated to rolling temperature, and are rolled in at least one roller stand. Determining device receives information showing the regions occupied by the slabs relative to one another when passing through the furnace in at least one direction orthogonal to the conveying direction, and determines, for at least one rolling pass of the respective slab, an adjustment of the roller stand performing this rolling pass without prior determination of a respective temperature distribution of a respective slab or without utilization of a determined temperature of a respective slab. The determining device takes into account the region occupied by the respective preceding and/or following slab, seen in the conveying direction, relative to the respective slab, and supplies the respective determined adjustment of the roller stand to a control device, which controls the roller stand when the respective slab is being rolled.

    摘要: A model (8) is based on mathematical-physical equations. The model models the production of a particular output product (1) from at least one input product (2) supplied in each case to an installation in the raw materials industry on the basis of operation (B) of the installation. During production of the output products (1), the installation is controlled by a control device (5) in such a manner that particular actual operation (B) of the installation corresponds as far as possible to particular desired operation (B*) of the installation. The desired operation (B*) is determined by the control device (5) using the model (8) of the installation. The model (8) is parameterized according to a number of first model parameters (P1) for the purpose of modelling the installation. After a multiplicity of output products (1) have been produced in each case, actual sizes (A) of the output products (1) in the particular multiplicity are compared with expected sizes (A′) of the output products (1) in the particular multiplicity. On the basis of the comparison, the first model parameters (P1) are newly determined and the model (8) in the control device (5) is newly parameterized according to the new values of the first model parameters (P1). After this time, the desired operation (B*) is determined by the control device (5) using the newly parameterized model (8) of the installation in the raw materials industry. The expected sizes (A′) are determined by means of the model (8), wherein the determination of the expected sizes (A′) is based on the actual operation (B) of the installation.

    摘要: Coil has been produced by coiling of a strip. The coil has two end faces and a lateral surface, and also a coil eye having an eye axis. The binding bands have a binding band width. Initially, while a first subregion of the lateral surface of the coil, as seen in the direction of the eye axis, is resting on a first rest, those binding bands which, as seen in the direction of the eye axis, surround the coil completely outside the first subregion are removed. Then, while a second subregion of the coil, as seen in the direction of the eye axis, is resting on the first rest or a second rest, those binding bands which were not removed are removed. The first and the second subregion, as seen in the direction of the eye axis, are spaced apart from one another at least by the binding band width.

    摘要: A control device (3b) for a roll stand (1). During rolling of a metal strip (2) in the roll stand (1), the device receives measurement data (M) for a lateral position (y) of the metal strip (2) on the inlet side and/or outlet side of the roll stand (1). Taking into account parameters (P) of the stand regulator (3a) on the basis of the deviation in the lateral position (y) from a target position (y*), a stand regulator (3a) of the control device (3b) determines a tilt value (δs) for the roll stand (1) and controls the roll stand (1) accordingly. The control device (3b) determines at least one variable (V1, V2, Q1, Q2) from which it is derived, for both strip edges (7, 8) of the metal strip (2), whether the metal strip (2) forms an undulation (9) in the region of the particular strip edge (7, 8). As soon as the metal strip (2) forms an undulation (9) in the region of one of the strip edges (7, 8), the control device (3b) varies at least one of the parameters (P) of the stand regulator (3a), such that the stand regulator (3a) determines the tilt value (δs), starting from the variation in the at least one parameter (P), and taking into account the changed parameter (P).
