Abstract
This paper presents an approach for the dynamic speed drop compensation during threading in rolling processes. The feedforward control design exploits the differential flatness of the mechanical model and accelerates both the rolls and the drive train in a manner such that the acceleration torque is equal to the rolling torque during threading, while simultaneously maintaining the roll at the desired target speed. Ideally, this prevents the speed drop and enhances the quality and stability of the rolling process. The flatness-based feedforward trajectories are optimized in an online fashion to determine the optimal initial roll speed and duration of the acceleration process. An extensive experimental validation on a hot strip finishing mill shows superior performance in terms of various key performance indicators in comparison with a standard overspeed approach.
