Cold Rolling Mills - Automatic Gauge Control
Converteam systems offer the highest performance on thickness tolerances using a combination of proven design together with the latest control techniques.
Separate control functions are included to provide fast feed-back and feed-forward corrections with non-interactive trims to avoid strip tension perturbations. The controls, where possible, include self-tuning features to optimise strip thickness from the first length of coil, through the body and to the tail. Controller gains are automatically optimised using on-line mathematical models for each type of product and mill rolling mode. Converteam AGC systems offer the latest features, including mass flow control using laser speed meters and active compensation for roll eccentricity, coil eccentricity and strain-rate speed effects.
Converteam is a world leader for AGC on single stand and multi-stand cold mills.
Cold Rolling Mills - Automatic Flatness Control
