Simulation of the automation gauge control system in a hot rolling mill

Strip gauges must be very accurately,but rolling mills can not allow frequent tests during manufacturing.The automated gauge control of a hot rolling mill was simulated by modeling every module in an automatic gauge control system having 7 stands.The mechanisic models were then linked using SIMULINK in MATLAB.The multi-stand simulation system for automatic gauge control provides an accurate offline experiment tool that can be used to develop new products.
