Beacuse the practical mathematic model of rolling process can't be built accurately,this paper established an expert system to control the rolling steels' gauge by adjusting the setup roll open, which combined the experience of theoreticians and operators. The system applied the expression method of rule-skeleton+rule-body', and selected an appropriate non-exact reference model and self-study algorithm. The whole system, including auxiliary routes, is designed in Borland C++. Some experiments on this system have been done, and a good result has been achieved.
In rolling process, the rolling force is an important parameter. The precision of the predicted rolling force will directly affect the precision of the finished product. By using adaptive control theory and fusing the measured and predicted data, the precision of the predicted rolling force is gradually improved. This system has been used in plant for more than one year, and the result of the application shows that the system has steady and reliable performance, and high precision.
