A control device (3b) for a roll stand (1). During rolling of a metal strip (2) in the roll stand (1), the device receives measurement data (M) for a lateral position (y) of the metal strip (2) on the inlet side and/or outlet side of the roll stand (1). Taking into account parameters (P) of the stand regulator (3a) on the basis of the deviation in the lateral position (y) from a target position (y*), a stand regulator (3a) of the control device (3b) determines a tilt value (s) for the roll stand (1) and controls the roll stand (1) accordingly. The control device (3b) determines at least one variable (V1, V2, Q1, Q2) from which it is derived, for both strip edges (7, 8) of the metal strip (2), whether the metal strip (2) forms an undulation (9) in the region of the particular strip edge (7, 8). As soon as the metal strip (2) forms an undulation (9) in the region of one of the strip edges (7, 8), the control device (3b) varies at least one of the parameters (P) of the stand regulator (3a), such that the stand regulator (3a) determines the tilt value (s), starting from the variation in the at least one parameter (P), and taking into account the changed parameter (P).

The present invention discloses a method for channel decoupling of a whole-roller flatness meter for a cold-rolled strip. The method includes the following steps: 1, setting a channel number and a channel breadth of the flatness meter; 2, obtaining an influence matrix under the condition of coupled channels; 3, calculating an inverse matrix of the influence matrix; 4, decoupling the channel by the inverse matrix of the influence matrix; and 5, obtaining flatness distribution after channel decoupling. The present invention decouples the channel of the whole-roller flatness meter by inverting the influence matrix and multiplying with the detection force vector. The present invention reproduces the true force vector and flatness distribution, and provides a new method for improving the flatness detection accuracy.

Systems and methods of quenching a metal substrate include cooling a top surface and a bottom surface of the metal substrate until a strip temperature is cooled to an intermediate temperature. Cooling of the top surface of the metal substrate is discontinued when the strip temperature reaches the intermediate temperature, and cooling of the bottom surface of the metal substrate continues until the metal substrate reaches a target temperature, where the target temperature is less than the intermediate temperature.

A control device that receives actual variables (I) of a flat rolled product before rolling and target variables (Z) of the rolled product after rolling in a rolling mill. The target variables (Z) include at least one profile value (C) of the rolled product, which relates to a predetermined spacing (a) from the edges of the rolled product. The control device determines an ideal contour shape (ci) on the basis of the target variables (Z). On the basis of the actual variables (I) and the ideal contour shape (ci), the device uses a model of the rolling mill to determine target values (COM) for manipulated variables for the roll stands of the rolling mill. The device transfers the target values (COM) to the roll stands, such that the rolled product is rolled in the rolling mill in consideration of the target values (COM).

A method is provided for cooling sheet metal using a cooling section having multiple coolant dispensing devices for cooling upper and lower faces of a sheet metal. The cooling achieves a predefined target state of the sheet metal at a reference point at and/or after the exit from the cooling section, wherein coolant dispensing for a first and a second coolant dispensing device is determined, wherein the first and the second coolant dispensing devices are arranged opposite the sheet metal. Because the coolant dispensing for the first and second coolant dispensing devices is determined based on a predefined flow of heat to be dissipated from the sheet metal side that faces the respective coolant dispensing device, with a surface temperature of the respective sheet metal side being taken into account, the flatness of plate that is produced can be increased further with a simultaneously high throughput of the plate rolling train.

A method and device for measuring the flatness of a metal product traveling on a path. The product has at least plastic or elastoplastic deformation properties. The metal product (1) is in the form of a strip that travels (D) under tension over a flatness measurement assembly (2) that deflects the product, such as at least one measuring roller (RM) that deflects the product. Measure flatness by measuring the longitudinal tension over a deflection zone. Perform the flatness measurement by: a first longitudinal tension measurement value (T1) by the measuring roller, determining a model of stress over the thickness of the strip as a function of conditions of plastic or elastoplastic deformation of the product, calculating a correction factor for the longitudinal deformation according to the determined stress model, calculating a corrective value (T1, T2) for the first longitudinal tension measurement value (T1) at at least one evaluation point (M1, M2) as a function of the longitudinal deformation correction factor (Z1), calculating a corrected flatness measurement value (PC) at at least one of the evaluation points.

A control system employs a model-based multi-variable predictive control for cold rolling mills to improve sheet thickness uniformity to meet or exceed specifications in flatness. Sheet metal thickness and flatness deviations from standard requirements are significantly reduced with attendant improved control accuracy as compared to traditional control approaches that use PID based closed loop controls. The control system is particularly suited for control of 4-hi non-reversible single-stand metal rolling mills. The mill stand has a first work roll and a second work roll respectively positioned between a first back up roll and a second back up roll. A plurality of sensors measures and acquires property data of the sheet of material. A model predictive controller manipulates actuators to regulate thickness and flatness. The controller executes automatic gauge control, which is machine direction metal control, and automatic flatness control, which is cross direction metal sheet control, as metal sheet is rolled.
