Abstract (en)

The system detects band flatness with a measurement system and separates the planarity error into orthogonal components. A real-time model takes all rolling process parameters into account. Another model computes planarity regulation demand values. A multi-parameter regulator regulates band planarity. Control parameters for inclusion in dynamic optimization are predicted from the dead time. Noise parameter mixing is performed. The system detects the flatness of a band with a measurement system and separates the planarity error into orthogonal components. A real-time capability model takes all parameters involved in the rolling process in to account and another model computes demand values for planarity regulation. A multi-parameter regulator regulates band planarity. Control parameters for inclusion in dynamic optimization are predicted from the dead time. Noise parameter mixing takes into account the characteristics of the incoming band, the variation of the roller force and thermal crowning. Independent claims are also included for the following: a method of measuring and/or regulating flatness in when rolling material, and a device for measuring and/or regulating the flatness of a band.
