Mill optimised 2,000 times/second

Article Abstract:

Cambridge Control is developing a new hydraulic controller for British Steel (BSC) which is intended to improve the control of a rolling mill making I-section rolled steel joists. The control system may use Edmunds' Algorithm to complete the computation loop in 0.5 ms, the time believed to be available. The new development is believed to be very reliable, and able to be transferred easily to various hydraulic control and production tasks. It is expected that final delivery will take place in some 18 months' time.
