In continuous strip processing line, steel strips are thermally and mechanically processed as well as surface coated (e.g. galvanized). In this project, observer and control concepts for continuous galvanizing lines are developed. Additionally, controllers for laboratory facilities to develop new process technologies (e.g. laboratory furnaces) are designed. Read more →
Rough-rolled steel plates are rolled in a tandem hot rolling mill to strip with a final thickness. This thickness should accurately and uniformly correspond with the desired value. To satisfy this requirements and to ensure a stable strip travel, model-based control concepts are developed in this project. Read more →
