R&D Team Lead
This thesis project is embedded within ABB's Strategic Thrust-an ambitious initiative focused on advancing electromagnetic force and dimension sensors. As part of this effort, ABB is seeking innovative minds to tackle complex challenges at the heart of its product development. You will contribute to the evolution of ABB's hydraulic control systems used in thickness measurement of metal strips and get support from the control system experts in the Force Measurement business line (BL). By improving the performance of proportional hydraulic valves and developing new control algorithms, your work will directly improve customer value and measurement precision in demanding industrial environments.
What will you do
Within the Force Measurement BL, this thesis focuses on dimension sensors, specifically the functioning of a proportional hydraulic valve in maintaining the distance between a metal strip and the sensor. The primary goal of this work is to upgrade the existing proportional hydraulic valve system by replacing the existing valve with a more sophisticated one, designing a new hydraulic regulation algorithm together with a new calibration routine. This improvement aims to achieve faster response times and improved control performance, contributing to more precise and efficient thickness measurement.
Proportional hydraulic valves are essential components in maintaining the vertical distance between a metal strip and the sensor which is critical for accurate thickness measurement. These valves regulate the flow direction and magnitude, ensuring precise positioning of the gauge holder under varying operational conditions such as abrupt changes in strip position and oscillations of the metal strip. While the current system meets basic functional requirements, there is a significant potential for improvement. By upgrading the hydraulic regulation algorithm, real-time spool position data can be extracted from the system. This improvement would enable faster response times and improved stability during critical situations.
Objectives/Content
The objective of this thesis is to evaluate and develop control strategies for a new proportional hydraulic valve to enhance the response time of the gauge holder system. ABB Force Measurement currently utilizes a PID controller; however, the aim is to design a new control algorithm tailored for the upgraded proportional hydraulic valve and prepare it for implementation in the final product.
