A system for controlling the output of a rolling mill. An intelligent control system is part of a control loop between the mill and a PID controller. The control loop does not rely on the output of an exit gauge sensor in normal operation. The intelligent control system can be an artificial neural network or a parallel cascade network, and has an output node for generating an output signal ...

Dual Thickness Laser Measurement of Aluminum. In the rolling mill process, the aluminum starts as an ingot. As the ingot gets squeezed down into a thinner and thinner sheet of aluminum, the operator needs to know the thickness of the sheet in order to determine the correct size.

Each unit of the radar width measurement has a radar sensor in which electromagnetic waves are generated and which are emitted by means of an antenna. The radar beams of both units are aimed at the outer edge of the material. A part of the electromagnetic waves emitted is reflected by the material and received by two further, identical antennas.
