Research on Dynamic Response of Cold Rolling Mill with Dynamic Stiffness Compensation

Abstract

The vibration of the vertical system of a cold rolling mill is a major concern for factory production. In factory production, it is found that the thickness control system with dynamic stiffness compensation of the rolling mill has a significant impact on the rolling mill vibration. In this work, a mechanical hydraulic coupling vibration model of a cold rolling mill with a thickness control system with dynamic stiffness compensation was established. MATLAB/Simulink was used to simulate and analyze the vibration response characteristics of the mechanical structure of the rolling mill and mechanical hydraulic coupling system considering the dynamic stiffness compensation control mode and position control mode of the upper cylinder. We found that the control system changed the vibration response of the mechanical structure, and different control modes have different effects on the vibration response curve. When the rolling mill works in the vibration area, the thickness difference at the strip steel outlet would be larger. Considering the rolling mill vibration and strip surface quality, the excitation of the strip inlet thickness can be achieved by adjusting the dynamic stiffness compensation system and changing the rolling speed reasonably to achieve good vibration suppression and control effects.
