Abstract

Set-up optimization of the rolling process involves several parameters that may lead to complex multi objective optimization problem. Also, it is well known that experience is playing a vital role in the selection of operating parameters in rolling mill. This paper presents a combination of two optimization procedure for a multi objective optimization problem. The first optimization phase is based on Nelder and Mead simplex method which focus on balance of power, force and reduction distribution in set-up planning. Then, a real-coded genetic algorithm based optimization procedure applies on the system as an outer loop to optimize energy consumption and productivity. An experimental result of application to five stand tandem cold rolling mill is presented.
