The dynamic model of 4-h mill, which couples with the rolling process model, the mill roll stand structure model, and the hydraulic servo system model, is built by analyzing the vibration process of cold rolling. By linearization, the multiple input multiple output linear transfer function matrix model of single stand 4-h cold mill system is obtained. With the consideration of strip quality, the model of strip thickness control system is established in a simplified form. Meanwhile, the robust controller based on quantitative feedback theory is designed for the gauge control model. A comparison with PID controller shows that the controller has better disturbance attenuation performance for parameter uncertainty and external disturbance.
