An automatic width control system for wire rolling mills

$15.00

One of the main challenges in manufacturing of flat rolled wire is width control. This paper proposes a method by which the width of the flat rolled wire can be controlled automatically in a 3-strand rolling mill without edge rolling. The paper also describes how rolling stand settings of the mill affect the product width using some experimental data.
