Abstract :
Skin-pass 3 of ArcelorMittal Gent has 2 tensioning devices with 5 S-rolls each that are driven with a common planetary gear system. The DC-drive and the planetary gear system will be replaced by induction machines for each individual S-roll during the future renovation. In this paper, different control strategies for load balancing are evaluated.
