(1) Screw-down regulator: hydraulic AGC

1) Description of hydraulic automatic gage control system (AGC)
Hydraulic AGC is a necessary device to improve the rolling precision and guarantees manufacturers to gain the advantage in the severe market competition in the future. To maintain the gage control precision and the good pattern of strip steel, it has many functions such as hydraulic roll gap control (AGC), constant rolling pressure control (AFC), thickness gauge pre-control and monitoring.It works reliably and operates conveniently. Furthermore, it is equipped with the complete self-protection functions and the rolling recipe database. To make strip steel of various specifications, access the corresponding setting recipe before each rolling. With it, the thickness control precision of strip steel will become 0.25±0.005mm (vertical thickness deviation)

2) Main components

① Hydraulic pump station
A hydraulic pump station mainly consists of main hydraulic pump, accumulator, oil tank, servo valve bank, pressure reducing/maintaining valve bank, circulating filter and others. For hydraulic pump, the maximum design pressure is 31Mpa and the operating pressure is between 20Mpa and 23Mpa. The hydraulic station provides the flow at the rate of 42L/min and the capacity of 1.0m3 and covers an area about 4 to 6㎡.
② Screw-down oil cylinder
The screw-down oil cylinder is made of high-grade casting alloy steel and passes three NDT cycles to prove the quality of cylinder block. Adopt the unique structure design and the imported oil seal. The use of high-resolution displacement sensor, SONY Magnescale can detect the displacement of oil cylinder and provide the measurement as accurate as 0.001mm. The cylinder block is also equipped with the high-precision pressure sensor to detect the rolling pressure and provide the measurement as accurate as 0.2% to 0.3%. The cylinder block operates 15 to 20 cycles per second.
③ Control System
It is equipped with the high-performance and reliable PLC control that is particularly applicable for severe working conditions.
④ Thickness gauge
Adopt the isotopic ray thickness gauge.
Measurement accuracy: 0.3%; Response time: 30ms
⑤ Servo valve
Adopt the best Chinese servo valves that are made by Nanjing No. 609 Institute. These valves are regularly used in China F-7 and F-8 aircrafts.
