Abstract

ABSTRACT:
 
Rolling mills automation System gained prominence in the sixties when the servo system was introduced to the metal forming industry. With the rapid development of the measurement devices, computers and modeling techniques, rolling mill automation has made significant progress in recent years. This paper introduces a new and simple electro-hydraulic system for controlling the rolling mill operation. The proposed system features less number of components, compactness, ease of installation and maintenance. It also exhibits the same rolling mill control performance as obtained when equipped with the conventional control systems. The results of the system simulation are experimentally validated, presented and discussed.
