Nidec ASI automation system for a continuous tandem mill coupled with pickling line

摘要

The cold rolling is one of the main sectors for rolling flat products, and a continuous tandem mi/1 is by sure one of the most comprehensive and significant plants in the wide range of the metals industry. A reliable high-performance automation system is consequently indispensable to make the most of the mechanical and hydraulic equipment in a process of this type, that must meet requirements in productivity and quality of the final coil increasingly stringent. This paper aims to illustrate both the plant and the automation system, focusing on the most significant aspects related to automation developed in the company, from mathematical models to fuzzy regulation algorithms, but without neglecting the global architecture of the system..
