Abstract
Material tracking is an important part of the automation control system which has a major impact on the product quality. This paper addresses a stand load identification in wire rod mill as a new algorithm added to existing control system. Tension control approaches are described and a modification of existing tracking system is proposed in order to eliminate tracking faults. Proposed method is based on dynamic torque calculation and its performance was experimentally verified on the industrial wire rod mill. Experimental results show significant reduction of the errors.
