Four-High Cold Rolling Mill for Control of Edge-Drop and Thrust Force

Abstract

In the paper, control principle and working characters of T－WRS&C（Taper Work Roll Shifting and Crossing）cold rolling mill are analyzed. The working schedule and control parameters are worked out. The mill working modes are determined according to different working conditions. The taper work roll shifting is used for edge drop control and the work roll crossing is used for thrust force control when work rolls shifting. The actual application verifies that the edge drop and thrust force can be controlled effectively during cold strip rolling.
