The invention discloses a location control method for a strip head of thin
strip steel, and belongs to the technical field of
automatic control. The method comprises the following steps: 1) a weldingmachine, a pinch roll device and an optical
grating detector are installed, and the pinch roll device comprises an upper press roll, a lower roll, a motor, a motor
tail coder, a power cylinder and a lower roll coder; 2) three thickness specification interval sections of the
strip steel are divided and input into a main-line PLC, the upper press roll is controlled to fall off by the main-line PLC until the
strip steel is clamped between the upper press roll and the lower roll by virtue of a set clamping force separately; and 3) the running speed of the motor is calculated through the motor tailcoder, the strip steel is conveyed at a speed V1, when the optical
grating detector detects the strip steel, the strip steel is conveyed at a speed V2, and meanwhile, the lower roll coder installed on the lower roll starts to calculate the length L of the strip steel passing through the optical
grating detector, and location for the strip head is completed. According to the method, the
distance error of the strip head at a
welding stopping position is reduced, so that the compensation accuracy is increased; and the method is completely feasible, and capable of achieving a good effect.
