In order to improve the flatness of cold rolled strips, strategies of closed loop feedback flatness control and rolling force feed forward control were established respectively, based on actuator efficiency factors. As the basis of flatness control system, efficiencies of flatness actuators provide a quantitative description to the law of flatness control. For the purpose of obtaining accurate efficiency factors matrixes of actuators, a self-learning model of actuator efficiency factors was established. The precision of actuator efficiency factors could be improved continuously by correlative measurement flatness data inputs. Meanwhile, the self-learning model of actuator efficiency factors permits the application of this flatness control for all possible types of actuators and every stand type. The developed flatness control system has been applied to a 1250mm single stand 6-H reversible UCM cold mill. Applications show that the flatness control system based on actuator efficiency factors is capable to obtain good flatness.

Flatness control system is characterized by multi-parameters, strong coupling, pure time delay, which complicate the establishment of an accurate mathematical model. Therefore, a control scheme that combines dynamic decoupling, PI (Proportion and Integral) control and adaptive Smith predictive compensation is proposed. To this end, a dynamic matrix is used to decouple the control system. A multivariable coupled pure time-delay system is transformed into several independent generalized single-loop pure time-delay systems. Then, a PI-adaptive Smith predictive controller is constructed for the decoupled generalized single-loop pure time-delay system. Simulations show that the scheme has a simple and feasible structure, and good control performance. When the mathematical model of the control system is inaccurate, the control performance of adaptive Smith control method is evidently better than that of the ordinary Smith control method. The model is successfully applied to the cold rolling production site through LabVIEW, and the control accuracy is within 5I. This study reveals a new solution to the problem of coupled pure time-delay in flatness control system.

The partial high points, always appearing when the hot strip is being rolled, not only negatively influence the quality of the hot strip, but also make a long term effect on the profile control. Via quantifying and separating the partial high points and analyzing the calculation of the strip crown, we can obtain the calculation method of the error resulted from the high points; then, on the basis of the way that the high points affect the profile and flatness control system, we can present some tactics to lessen the high points’ effect.

A shape control system based on a wavelet radial basis function network for a Sendzimir mill (ZRM) and fuzzy control are developed to improve the shape control performance of a conventional ZRM system. The conventional shape recognition system for a ZRM adopted an incomplete multi-layer perceptron neural network system that was constructed two decades ago. The poor shape recognition of this system leads to actuator saturation and shape control performance deterioration. Therefore, the full automatic operation of a ZRM is often stopped, and manual input need to be performed. This affects the quality, causes a decline in the productivity of the steel strip and an unnecessary waste of manpower. In this paper, a wavelet radial basis network is developed to replace the multi-layer perceptron network and consequently improve shape recognition performance. A modified fuzzy controller is also constructed to prevent actuator saturation that occurs in a conventional shape control system owing to the use of a fixed gain-based fuzzy controller. A comparative simulation based on the data measured from an actual ZRM plant demonstrates the efficacy of the proposed shape control system.

In cold strip or foil rolling, flatness control is an integral part of modern mill. This paper introduces two typical flatness control systems, pattern recognisation flatness control system and multivariable flatness control. It is found that the latter is effective and has wider application fields. The FEM models of its core parameters, flatness actuator efficiency, are constructed. Influencing factors, such as the rolling force, bending force as well as the tilting force are discussed. Control strategies are proposed for foil rolling. The results demonstrate that the control strategies can reduce flatness error and improve flatness quality.

In order to improve the flatness of a hot rolled strip in hot strip finishing mills, a new segmented looper system was developed, which is called the flatness sensing inter-stand looper (FlatSIL) system. The FlatSIL system measures the tension along the width of the strip by using segmented rolls and the tension profile is calculated. Using the tension profile, the flatness control system of the hot strip can be constructed. The new flatness control system works for the full strip length during strip rolling as long as the tension profile-measuring device and the work roll bender are activated. To control the flatness of the hot strip, a self-tuning algorithm using the recursive least mean square method was applied to update proportional-integral (PI) gains. By computer simulation and experimentation, the performance of flatness control systems was compared with fixed and self-tuning PI gains.
