  • Patent number: 11426778
    Abstract: A method for tension control in a band-shaped material between two tension points, in particular between two adjacent roll stands, wherein at least one of the tension points has a rotary drive as an actuator. In order to make known tension controls of this type more effective and faster the controller output signal is varied in connection with the conversion thereof into the actuating signal for the rotary drive, at least temporarily, in dependence on a variable representing the band-shaped material.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10799924
    Abstract: A method for controlling a roller line, preferably a cold roller line, which has one or more roller stands each with two working rollers, which form a roller gap, through which a roller band is transportable. One or both working rollers can shift relative to the other, so that the roller gap is adjustable. The method includes making available a reference speed, which is a parameter for controlling the roller line, measurement of speed of the roller band before the inlet into the roller gap, measurement of the thickness of the roller band before the inlet into the roller gap, and adjustment of the roller gap of one or more roller frames in the roller line on the basis of measured speed and thickness before the inlet into the roller gap as well as the reference speed.
