METHOD OF OPTIMIZING THE BAND WIDTH DISTRIBUTION AT THE ENDSOF A BAND PASSING THROUGH A MILL TRAIN

摘要

The width of bands to be laminated (4) on a mill train (3) is adjusted by means of vertical upsetting rollers (6), resulting, however, in a narrowing at the band ends due to the asymetric material flow there. In order to solve the problem, the upsetting rollers (6) are so designed as to move at the passage of the band ends in keeping with a curve (f) defined according to specified parameters (s). The parameters (s) are based on neuro-computer made predictions related to the milling process.
