Loop Control

Loop Control is essential for tension free rolling of fast moving stock towards the end of the mill. The Loop Control in GEVA Mill Control has been designed to provide consistent rolling conditions from nose to tail of the bar.

The key features of Loop control in GEVA Mill Control are:

     - Controlled Loop Build-Up
     - Controlled Loop Bring-Down
     - No reaction on signal disturbances
     - Ride through on signal loss
     - High dynamic response
     - Same set of parameters for different sections

The output of Loop control is fed into Speed Cascading to ensure complete tension free rolling.
