Abstract: Such characteristics of aluminium strip and foil as soft and thin gauge make tension control one of the key techniques for automation gauge control(AGC). To avoid the disadvantage of traditional mathematical control method which is unfitful for nonlinear hysteresis, the technique for tension AGC fuzzy control was developed and thickness deviation more than 3% of product thickness was achieved consequently in 1 350 mm cold rolling mill of aluminium strip and foil. Additionally, because the gauge of aluminium strip and foil is thin, stage-cooling roll method becomes a key technique for profile control. So stage-cooling roll intelligent control method is developed and pre-coated aluminum foil with good profile less than 10 I (the relative differences in elongation of 0.01%) is produced using the profile control system in 1 400 mm cold rolling mill of aluminium strip and foil.
