Objective In order to satisfy downstream and customer requirements referring to strip quality features, all influences on strip quality have to be taken into consideration by a comprehensive control strategy valid for the threading phase as well as for the rolling phase. By means of a multivariable control concept it seems to be quite possible to control simultaneously the different processes and actuators which influence the strip quality to meet the increased requirements sufficiently. The aim of the project is, therefore, to improve the quality of hot strip by use of advanced control strategies for the coil to coil adaptation of the mill set-up as well as for the in-bar process control.
