Full Text The present invention relates to a control system for end cutting of hot rolled products using flying shear in a hot rolling mill which would enable automatic cutting of front end and/or back end of product by a microcontroller based system and would thus be simple to operate. The system can be used in a wire rod mill to cut the back of wire rod.
Normally in a rolling mill, when metal is rolled, the front end ana back end of a product is defective. To eliminate the defect the front end and back end is cut. In

a wire rod mill, the last 2 meter and first 2 meter is cut to make the wire rod defect free. This cutting is to be done after 9th stand using a flying shear.
In the presently known that the back end cutting is usually not done. After rolling the entire material the defective back end portion is cut manually by gas cut. Such conventional manually operated system for back end cutting and front end cutting operation suffers from drawbacks /disadvantages, which are discussed hereunder.
A. Manual cutting is done at the end of rolling. In a wire rod mill comprising
of 23 stands, manual cutting is to be done after 23rd stand and after the
metal is taken to a safe place to enable the operator to cut the back end.
This causes unnecessry rolling of the metal from 9th stand to 23rd stand
and thereby consuming more electrical power, decreasing roll life.
B. Some time is utilised to roll defective material.
C. People have tried to implement the system using a programmable
controller. The response of programmable controller will not be fast and
therefore cutting accuracy will not be available with a programmable
controller.
It is thus basic object of the present invention to provide a control system for end cutting of hot rolled products using flying shear in a hot rolling mill.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a system to provide a system to cut the back end and front end in the intermediate place using a flying shear in such a way that the length of cut piece will be uniform in length.

2
Yet anotner object of the present invention is to provide for a cost-effective system adapted for use in an existing rolling mill to have a facility of front end cutting and back end cutting.
Summary of Invention
Thus according to the present invention there is provided a control system for back and/or front cutting operation in a hot rolling mill comprising:
a pinch roll sensing contact for feeding the billet into the rolling stand;
hot metal detector adapted to view the presence of hot metal;
means to measure the linear speed of the hot metal;
selector switch means adapted to genarate time lag signals based on the desired cut and the linear
speed of the metal in the stand;
micro controller based board adapted to receive input signals from said pinch roll sensing control, hot metal detector, selector switch, means for measuring linear speed of metal and adapted to generate signals to activate an opto-coupler interface for the end cutting operation.
The above system of the invention basically comprises of the micro controller board which is adapted to receive digital input signals from the said hot metal detector, pinch roll, selector switch through a relay interface and analog input signal from said means for measuring the linear speed of the metal which is preferably a tacho generator signal through an isolation amplfier.
Importantly, the above control system is adapted for use in wire rod rolling line for end cutting of hot rolled products using flying shear in a hot rolling mill.
Based on these inputs-the microprocessor board generates output digital signals to activate an opto-coupler interface which is operative connected to a flying shear to carry out said cutting of the hot metal.
The processor is also adapted to generate delay output indication and a watch dog timer output. The watch dog timer output is such that as long as the CPU is running and executing the application program a pulse is available in a selected port in CPU. This pulse from port resets a counter. As long as the counter is reset cyclically, counter reading cannot go high. If pulse is not available from

3
said selected port and the counter reading goes to high value and this high value resets the CPU.
Each of said micro controller board, relay interface, isolation amplifier and opto coupler are operatively connected to power supply. The output from the opto-coupler is fed into a transistor, which in turn drives a relay. The NO contact of relay drives a contactor such that when contactor is on its NO contact is used to drive the shear mechanism. When contactor is dropped, the shear is Off.
Preferably, the selector switch is provided with 3 position and is mounted with control pulpit. Position 1 indicative of required one cut, position 2 indicative of required two cut and position 3 indicative of selector switch in control cabin in OFF position.
The system also includes means to square the operation of the flying shear based on the selector switch portions and the speed of the metal. Also, the system including means for continuously sensing the flow of the billets one after another such that in respect of each said billet the desired front and/or back end cutting is effected properly.

Reference is first invited to Fig. 1, where general arrangement of wire rod rolling line is shown. The roughing group consists of 9 rolling stands. After 9th stand there is a flying shear where the provision for back end cutting has been introduced. After the flying shear there are another 14 rolling stands to obtain the first product. Hot billet of size 110 mm x 110 mm x 11800 mm are discharged from reheat furnace. Billet is fed into 1st rolling stand by the pinch roll. There is a hot metal detector placed after 7th rolling stand (HMD-7). The HMD-7 operates a relay whenever a hot metal is seen in the viewing line of HMD-7. Stand 9 is the last stand of the roughing group. After 9th stand metal's front end and back end is cut by the flying shear. The linear speed of the metal is proportional to the 9th stand roll diameter and speed of 9th stand. One analog tacho generator is fitted with the 9th stand motor to obtain the speed feed back.
The flying shear cuts the metal in every rotation. Whenever the blade comes in contact, the metal is cut. The cut portion of the metal is collacting in the crop-collecting bucket. Whenever the bucket is filled up, an empty bucket using an overhead crane replaces it.

connected with the port 1 of 89C52. The processor is having 3 internal timer, out of which 2 are used in the program. When the processor is working, it communicates with a PC regarding all the calculations performed within it. The microcontroller board is having one RS 232 output using IC MAX 232. The board communicates with PC using RS 232 type communication Microcontroller board is having one analog to digital converter (ADC) using integrated Circuit (IC) AD 574 (Analog Device make). This IC is a 12 bit successive approximation type analog to digital converter. The board is having capacity of 8 channel analog input in the range of 0 to 10 V DC. The analog input is multiplexed using IC 4051 and fed to AD 574. The purpose of selecting AD 574 is for its fast response time (in the order of 36 usec). Out of the 8 channel analog input only one channel is used. The linear speed of the metal is fed into this channel.

P1.7 of 89C52
The processor is having a watch dog timer. As long as the CPU is running and executing the application program a pulse is available in port 1.7 of the CPU. This pulse from port 1.7 resets a counter. As long as the counter is reseted cyclically, counter reading cannot go high. If pulse is not available from port 1.7 then counter reading goes to high value and this high value resets the CPU 89C52. The reset pin of 89C52 processor is pin # 9. This pin is normally kept at low value by a pull down resistance of 8.2 KO A High, Logic '1', on this pin resets the processor. While the application program is running, if CPU halts or if it is in an infinite loop then the processor gets reseted by a Logic '1' pulse available from counter.
The microcontroller board is having a 12 MHz crystal which generates the clock for this IC. From this basic clock processor generates time delays.


Relay Interface
The relay interface module converts a contact input to 5 V level TTL (Transistor Transfer logic) pulse. There are four digital inputs as shown in Table 1. HMD-7 contact is available from HMD-7 monitor unit and is brought to relay interface module through cable. Pinch roll contact is available from a contactor, driving the pinch roll solenoid. A selector switch, having three position is mounted in the control pulpit (Control room). Position 2 indicates that only two cuts are required in the back end. Neutral position indicates that no cutting is required. Using these contacts, four numbers of 12 V OEN make relays are energised. Each of these OEN relays are having three change over contacts. One NO contact

7
is used to fed TTL level input to the Microcontroller board. The digital inputs are shorted to PS-1 Common through a IK O resistance. The purpose of this resistance is that if the contact is open, input will be TTL logic "0". In Fig 2 of the Relay interface the contact and resistance is shown only for DI-3. The same is existing for all the digital inputs.
Isolation amplifier
The isolation amplifier isolates the voltage obtained from the tacho generator of 9th stand. This voltage is a measure of linear speed of the metal after 9th stand. The voltage available from tacho generator is of the order of 0 to 150V DC corresponding to angular speed of 0 to 1000 RPM of 9th stand. The isolation amplifier used here converts 0 to 300 V DC to 0 to 10V DC with an solation voltage of 2.5kV.The isolation amplifier requires + 12V DC supply for its operation which is obtained from Regulated DC power supply PS-3. Power supply common of PS-1 and PS-3 are shorted.
Opto-coupler and contactor driver with contactor K 1
The digital output for shear ON is obtained from Port 1.2 of 89C52. This output is of TTL level. This output is fed to a opto-coupler MCT2E. This device provides an electrical isolation between microcontroller board and the power circuit. Opto-coupler drives a transistor and which in turns drive a OEN relay. The NO contact of OEN relay drives a contactor K 1. When K 1 is ON, its NO contact is used to drive the shear mechanism. When K 1 is dropped, the shear is OFF. The contactor K 1 is a power contactor operated by 230V AC coil. Its contact rating is 32A DC.
Digital Indications
There are two digital indicators from the microcontroller board. First LED indicated a delay. After HMD-7 relay drops, a delay routine is executed and after that the flying shear is made ON. This delay is a function of selector switch in control cabing and the linear speed of the metal. As long as the processor is executing the delay routine, this LED glows. The second LED indication is for RUN mode indication. As long as the processor is working and executing the application program, the processor gives a pulse and the LED blinks. If the

8
processor halts, this LED will be either ON or OFF state continuously indicating the halting stage of the processor.
Regulated DC power supply PS 1
This regulated DC power supply feeds DC power to the microcontroller board. This gives +5V with a capacity of 5A and +/- 12V with a capacity of 1A. Input to this regulated power supply is 230V AC.
Regulated DC power supply PS 2
This regulated DC power supply feeds DC power to the Relay module and Opto-coupler module. This gives +12 V with a capacity of 1A. Input to this regulated power supply is 230V AC.
Regulated DC power supply PS 3
This regulated DC power supply feeds DC power to the isolation amplifier module. This gives +12 V with a capacity of 1A. Input to this regulated power supply is 230V AC.

Fig. 4 shows the timings diagram for operation of the system. When back end of the billet leaves 7th stand, flying shear is made ON after a time lag "T" This time lag depends on the selector switch setting in control cabing for 1 cut or 2 cut and the linear speed of the metal derived from 9th stand tacho generator signal. The linear speed signal of the billet helps to keep the last cut piece length constant.
Once HMD-7 signal goes from ON to OFF a time lag "T" is generated. This "T"
depends on three components
T = T1 + T2 + T3
T1= 500 m Sec
T2=400mSec for 1 cut, 200mSec for 2 cut
T3=depends on speed of rolling. If Speed increases, T3 decreases.
After flying shear has started, it will remain ON for 3 Sec if no billet is discharged in that strand as shown in case I. If any billet is discharged, sensed by pinch roll, while the flying is cutting the back end of the billet as shown in case II, the flying shear shall remain ON till the arrival of next meal. Shear will stop after cutting the front end., However, if metal does not arrive in stand 7 with in 65 sec. Then flying shear stops automatically (This happens if there is any cobble between stand #1 to stand #9).
Fig 5 shows the flow chart of the system. The processor is programmed to perform in this manner. Initially all the memory locations which stores the

10
inputs and outputs are cleared (i.e. all are made to logic "O"). The system waits for a transition from logic "1" to logic "O". This indicates that the billet has just crossed the 7th stand. Once this event takes place, the time delay 'T' is calculated based on the linear speed of the billet and the selector switch position. During the time delay 'T' one output LED is made ON, indicating that delay is being executed. After this delay shear is made ON by energizing K 1 contactor. The processor then checks whether a new billet has been fed into rolling line or not. If a new billet has been fed then the shear is kept ON till the arrival of next billet and the shear is made OFF only after front end cutting. The sensing of new billet is done through the pinch roll contact. If no billet is discharged, the shear remain ON for 3 sec and then it stops. The information is passed to a PC. The processor then clear all the input and output from memories and waits for the next transition from logic '1' to logic '0'.
