In this paper, the performance and functions of automatic flatness control system installed on the 4 hi-reversing mill and has been investigated under actual conditions. A new automatic flatness control system incorporates a measuring roll for measurement and correction calculations, hydraulic roll benders, selective roll cooling, and a programmable controller forinterface and data logging.
The test results are as following.
The more the exit steel strip thickness is thick, the smaller the I value, and the more it is thin, the larger the I value. And, a complex distribution of strip tension was controlled, for example, not only a quarter buckle but also a simple center wave and edge wave. Because the tension deviation is larger at acceleration speed and deceleration speed than steady speed. so automatic flatness control system of contact type is better to adopt over 450 m/min, automatic flatness control system reduces rapidly large flatness deviation. The maximum I value of strip has been decreased to 13 I, and defects caused by poor flatness have been drastcally decreased. And coolant temperature for work roll cooling system on the automatic flatness control system is better to adopt about 50-55℃.
