Down Coiler Hydraulic Cylinder Controller
Principle
In the equipment which rolls round strip, it is equipment which carries out quick opening of the roll at the time of strip top end passage, decreases a top mark, and raises product quality.
Feature
- Accurate unit roll gap setting by means of linear sensor
- Advanced Q.O.C. (Quick Opening Control) system
- Accurate strip top end tracking Small impact load at coiling first period

Online Roll Profiler
Principle
It is equipment which forces on roll the grindstone installed in the rolling mill, makes it move in the direction of a roll axis, and grinds the roll surface. There is an effect of the improvement in the productivity by reduction of the number of roll exchange and the improved quality by roll surface roughness removal.
Feature
- The angle of a grindstone is adjusted and the variation in grinding ability is prevented.
- Force control of the whetstone according to roll speed is performed, and the amount of grinding is kept constant.
- The grinding pattern
- Complete grinding : Remove the surface roughness of Roll.
- Partial grinding : Remove the level difference by rolling.

Roll Eccentricity Control
Principle
If eccentricity is in Roll, change of rolling force will occur according to roll rotation, and it will become change of strip thickness. This equipment samples the load change according to a rotation angle with the PLG attached to BUR, and outputs the amount of roll eccentric compensation to the hydraulic cylinder controller.
Feature
- The phase delay of a servo system is rectified on real time, and the line speed change under rolling is also followed at high speed.
- The value change by heat modification etc. is also followed on real time.
- It is only PLG which is installed in the local side, and an equipment addition is also easy.
| Line conditions etc | Sensor,Actuator |
|---|---|
| BUR Diameter : 1450~1655mm Line Speed : max 1680mpm Heat and high humidity,Cooling-water scattering |

Strip Stabilizer
Principle
Strip Stabilizer system using electromagnet can correct a strip wrap, adjust a pass line position and reduce a strip vibration Flat strip shape at air knife leads to : Uniform coating-Less consumption of molten zinc.
Feature
- Force of magnet : 10.5kgf/p'ce
- Amplitude of vibration : < 30% (Freq 0-10Hz)
- Correction of strip shape : 10mm p-p -> 2mm p-p (0.8mm t)
- Adjustment of pass line : 5-10mm

Strip Center Position Detector
Principle
It is equipment which installs a CCD camera on the side guide between stands, detects the edge of strip, and calculates the strip center position and width.
A signal is used for strip threading stability and strip tail pinching prevention and strip width control.
Feature
- Accuracy : Within±1.0mm
Accuracy is improved by triangulation, automatic correction of camera position etc. - Cycle time : Less than 5.0ms
High speed operation processing using CPU (Peintium M). - Environment-proof :
Eliminating influence of steam, water drops, etc. using high performance purge device. Easy maintenance because of no back light.
