Frequently Asked Questions
The Automatic Gauge Control (AGC) system ensures the steel strip maintains a consistent and precise thickness throughout the rolling process by automatically adjusting the roll gap in real-time.
The system utilizes a rolling process database, allowing operators to simply invoke the corresponding pre-set rolling schedule for different specifications, ensuring quick transitions and accuracy.
The system supports multiple modalities including Forward AGC, Feedback AGC, Monitoring AGC, Tension AGC, Mass Flow AGC, and Pre-setting AGC to cover all possible rolling conditions.
Yes, through the control of roll synchronous movement on both sides and the management of roll gap differences, the system effectively corrects the strip during processing.
The HAGC is equipped with a perfect self-protection function and a separate force setting alarm system to protect the machinery from overload or operational errors.
While AGC controls the thickness (gauge), AFC ensures the rolling force remains constant, preventing material deformation and ensuring uniform mechanical properties across the strip.
