Technology: Automatic Gauge Control

Avanti

Our Automatic Gauge Control technology includes the following:

  • Mill stand control:
    • Hydraulic gap control (HGC)
    • Work roll bend control (WRB)
    • Intermediate roll bend control (IRB for 6-Hi)
    • Cluster control (10-Hi)
  • Position/Gap/Force control
  • Stack synchronisation
  • Stack calibration
  • Mill spring acquisition
  • Roll eccentricity control (REC)
  • Model based predictive AGC feedback control
  • Model based predictive AGC feedforward control
  • Model based predictive AGC mass-flow control
  • AGC gaugementer control
  • AGC elongation control
  • AGC spillover for foil rolling (e.g. Tension – Speed)
  • Force threading for gap modes
  • Threading force protection
  • Reduced force mode
  • Tailout force protection
  • Mill stand safety
