Minimised yield losses by innovative integrated edge-drop, width and shape control based on soft-sensor technology and new actuators in cold rolling mills

Objectif

This project will bring European steel producers a major step forward to delivering near rectangular cold strips to their final customers and thus minimising their own yield losses by avoiding/reducing side trimming and strip breaks on critical and highly demanding products.

Potential actuators to control edge drop and width in cold rolling will be evaluated combining innovative (i.e. portable and integrated) measurement systems on industrial mills, (3D model-based) soft-sensors for online estimation, and model predictive control.

The expected benefits for the European steel industry are estimated to an average of 20M/year1 through the possibility to produce strips with tight geometrical tolerances and to reduce yield, with positive environmental aspect.
