- ABSTRACT A control method and apparatus are disclosed for controlling the gauge of strip material being rolled by a Filedi P 1973 tandem rolling mill while the strip is in motion and [21] Appl No; 354,288 moving through the mill.
- a gauge change in the work strip is accomplished by changing, in proper timed se- 1 quence, the stand speed and roll gap openings starting [52] U.S. Cl. 72/12, 72/24-() from the first t the last stand, In order to change [51] Int.
- tandem rolling mill operation including respective X-ray gauge sensing devices operative for thickness control purposes after each of the first and last roll stands, with interstand control apparatus operative ahead of and providing roll opening control for each of the roll stands other than the first roll stand.
- interstand control apparatus operative ahead of and providing roll opening control for each of the roll stands other than the first roll stand.
- continuous rolling operation of a tandem mill is broadly discussed.
- the rolling vmill is operated, when the work strip is passing through the successive roll stands of the rolling mill, such that a first X-ray gauge sensing device positioned after the first roll stand controls the roll opening of that first roll stand to effect a coarse gauge control of the work strip leaving that first roll stand, and a second X-ray gauge sensing device positioned after the last roll stand controls the speed of that last stand to effect a vernier gauge control of the work strip leaving that last roll stand.
- a tension regulating device is positioned to sense the work strip interstand tension after each of the first, second, third and fourth roll stands and is operative respectively to control the roll opening of the following roll stand for maintaining the rolling mill operation in accordance with the well-known mass flow relationship:
- H is the work strip delivery gauge leaving the first roll stand at speed 8
- H is the work strip delivery gauge leaving the second roll stand at speed S and so forth.
- this gauge change point movement can be established and followed in several ways, for example a weld detector can sense physically thegauge change point in the form of a welded joint in the work strip or a provided pulse generator and associated bridle roll arrangement can be operative with a pulse counter to sense the movement of the work strip and after a predetermined number of feet of incoming work strip have passed through the first roll stand in accordance with the first schedule it may be desired to effect a change to the second schedule operation when the predetermined gauge'change point of the work strip arrives at and enters the first roll stand.
- a provided sequence control system prior to this event senses the work strip delivery gauge leaving the last roll stand and senses the operating speed of each roll stand, and then determines by mass flow considerations the work strip delivery gauges respectively leaving each of the first, second, third and fourth roll stands in accordance with the relationship of above equation (I).
- the roll opening of that stand is changed by a predetermined amount by the sequence control system such that the delivery gauge of the work strip leaving the first roll stand is now in accordance with the desired second gauge schedule and since the work strip in accordance with the first schedule is still passing through the remaining subsequent roll stands the speeds of those remaining stands as well as the speed of the first stand are not changed.
- the operating speed of the first roll stand is changed in accordance with the predetermined second schedule of operation, while the speed of the second rollstand is not changed since the work strip in accordance with the first schedule is still passing through the third, fourth and fifth roll stands, and the speeds of the third, fourth and fifth roll stands are not changed so as to continue the desired operation in accordance with the first gauge schedule.
- the gauge change point of the work strip enters the third roll stand, the operating speeds of the previous first and second roll stands are changed in accordance with the second gauge schedule of operation, and the speeds of the third roll stand and the following roll stands are not changed since the work strip in accordance with the first gauge schedule is still operative with those roll stands.
- the speeds of the previous first, second and third roll stands are changed in accordance with the second gauge schedule of operation, and the speeds of the fourth and fifth roll stands are not changed since the work strip in accordance with the first gauge change schedule is still operative with those roll stands.
- the speeds of the previous first, second, third and fourth roll stands are changed in accordance with the second gauge schedule of operation, and the speed of the fifth roll stand is not changed.
- FIG. 1 is a block schematic diagram of a tandem rolling mill and a gauge change sequence control system operative with that rolling mill in accordance with the present invention
- FIG. 2 is a chart illustrating typical speed and work strip gauge or delivery thickness conditions as a gauge change point of the work strip passes through the roll stands 1 to of the rolling mill;
- FIG. 3 is a chart illustrating the operation of the predetermined per unit multipliers to control the speeds of the roll stands in relation to the original gauge schedule and showing the progression of provided speed changes as the gauge change point of the work strip passes through the respective stands of the tandem rolling mill;
- FIGS. 4A and 4B show a flow chart of a suitable instruction control program for a digital control computer included within the gauge change sequence control apparatus shown in FIG. 1.
- the control system shown includes a five-stand tandem rolling mill having stands RS1, RS2, RS3, RS4 and RS5.
- Each stand comprises a pair of work rolls 10 and 12, between which work strip material being rolled is passed. The associated backup rolls for each stand are not shown.
- the strip issuing from the last stand RS5 is wound on a coiler 16, with the direction of strip movement being from left to right as indicated by the arrow 18 in FIG. 1.
- each stand is driven by means of respective drive motors M1, M2, M3, M4, and M5 each controlled by a suitable speed control circuit C1, C2, C3, C4, and C5, respectively.
- the speed of the material issuing from any stand must be greater than that entering the stand in accordance with the well-known constant volume principle of material mass flow. Accordingly, the speed of stand RS2 must be greater than the speed of stand RS1; the speed of stand RS3 must be greater than the speed of stand RS2, and so forth as well known to persons skilled in this art, with the speed of the last stand RS5 being the greatest.
- gauge change sequence control 26 is connected to control each drive motor speed through operation of the respective speed controls. It will be understood that a reference speed signal is supplied to each of the respective speed controls C1 to C5 for this purpose.
- each roll gap opening of each roll stand is determined by respective gap actuators G1, G2, G3, G4 and G5 as shown, and preferably including hydraulic cylinders, such that for each roll stand a hydraulic cylinder provides the necessary roll force at the stand to reduce the strip 14 in delivery gauge or thickness; and it will be understood that only one cylinder may be provided for each stand or there may be hydraulic cylinders on opposite sides of each mill stand, loading the chocks at the opposite ends of the work rolls.
- a mechanical screwdown mechanism including an electrical screwdown motor can be used if desired to effect the required roll force at each stand, but the hydraulic cylinders may be preferred because of their more rapid speed of operation.
- the delivery gauge of strip material passing through the first stand RS1 is measured by means of an X-ray gauge 28 or the like positioned at the delivery side of first stand RS1, which X-ray gauge 28 is operative in conjunction with the automatic gauge control system 30 to control the roll opening of roll stand RS1 to cause the gauge error leaving roll stand RS1 to be reduced to zero.
- the automatic gauge control system 30 is operative with a gauge reference in accordance with the desired exit gauge from stand RS1.
- automatic gauge control system 30 operates in conjunction with X-ray gauge 28 to either increase or decrease the roll opening of stand RS1 to increase or decrease the roll force of stand S1 and thereby vary the roll opening of stand RS1 and thereby vary the delivery gauge of the work strip material issuing from stand RS1 until the delivery gauge matches the desired reference gauge.
- tension control device T1, T2, T3 and T4 which measures tension in the strip between each set of stands, such as the tension in the strip material 14 between stands RS1 and RS2, and produces an electrical signal proportional thereto.
- This tension signal in relation to tension control T1 is compared with a tension reference signal in accordance with desired tension, and which may be supplied by the sequence control apparatus 26, and if the two are not the same, then the tension control device Tl will vary the pressure exerted by the gap actuator G2 for stand RS2, thereby varying the roll gap opening and/or the roll force of stand RS2.
- Each tension control device measures a particular interstand tension and compares it with a desired reference tension, and if the two are not the same, then the roll gap opening for the succeeding stand is varied as required for work strip gauge correction.
- the final delivery output gauge of the strip material passing through the tandem rolling mill is measured by means of an X-ray gauge 42 or the like, which produces an electrical signal proportional to the actual and measured output work strip gauge error. If the actual output gauge does not match the desired reference gauge, then the gauge error signal is applied to the speed control circuit C5 to increase or decrease as required the speed of drive motor MS of stand RS5, which in turn changes the tension between the last two stands to correct for the variation from thedesired delivery gauge. Ifthe correction is large enough to exceed the provided tension control dead band, the tension control device T4 will appropriately increase or decrease the roll gap of the last stand RS5 as required for correction of the interstand tension. In most cases, however, speed and tension control for varying final output gauge is desired on the last stand and the roll gap is changed only when the delivery gauge error is very large.
- rolling mills of this general arrangement have in the past been generally operative to roll a continuous length of strip on a coil to a single specified thickness of delivery gauge along the entire length of the strip.
- one or more delivery gauge changes can be effected during rolling of a single work strip, by initially changing the roll gap setting of the first stand RS1 to change thedelivery gauge of the strip material issuing from the first stand. Thereafter and in timed sequence, the respective control speed references of succeeding stands are changed until all roll gap settings and speeds of the stands in the mill have been set to accommodate the desired new delivery gauge. In this respect, it is necessary only to change the gauge references to the first stand RS1 and the X-ray gauge positioned after the first stand. For all other stands, it is necessary only to change the speed reference provided for the stand. The roll gap opening of each stand following the first stand is controlled and varied as required by means of the tension control devices T1 to T4.
- the change from one delivery gauge to another is done in a way to preserve the required constant mass flow of work strip through the stands of the rolling mill for both the first delivery gauge schedule and the second delivery gauge schedule. Since the mill has no facility to store work stripmaterial between stands, the original mill setup was required to satisfy the mass flow relationship of above equation (1), where the product of the speed S times the strip delivery gauge or height H for each of the stands is equal to this same product for the-other stands. The thickness is decreased as it passes through each stand, so the speed increases to provide the wellknown constant volume flow operation.
- the speed S of stand RS2 is shown to be the initial schedule value to satisfy the speed requirements of the first gauge or height schedule.
- the new speed S for stand RS1 is chosen to satisfy the constant mass flow requirements of the second gauge or height schedule,
- the reference stand speeds, roll openings, and interstand tensions are preset and adjusted to the desired work and deliver the required gauge out of the first stand and the last stand, and the gauge being delivered from each of the other stands is determined by the relationship between the stand speeds.
- the speed pattern is directly related to the respective delivery gauges being produced, so the rolling schedule for each work strip is primarily established by the desired speed relationship pattern and the roll gaps and tensions are preset and adjusted to suit that desired speed relationship.
- FIG. 2 there is provided a chart to illustrate typical sequential changes in the rolling mill operating conditions as a work strip gauge change point moves through the roll stands of that rolling mill.
