Abstract

The looper of a hot strip finishing mill is installed between each pair of stands and plays a key role to enhance the product quality of strip by controlling the tension and height of strip in each inter-stand. Though the conventional looper control has achieved the mass products of strip so far, it has difficulties not only tuning gains by means of errors which are caused by coupling effects between strip tension and looper angle both utilizing tension feedback. Therefore, the non-interactive control employing cross controller and tension feedback has been introduced in looper control system in order to overcome the coupling effects existing between tension and looper angle and track the reference tension efficiently. In this paper, we present the cross controllers which play a role to decouple reciprocal effects between tension and looper angle and show better performance.
