Abstract: The accuracy and quality of the steel strip exit thickness depends on the structure of the automatic gauge control system (HAGCS) of reversible cold rolling mill. This structure is based on the position control of the work rolls. The design and implementation of a new HAGCS by the backstepping approach with high gain observer are discussed in this paper. Backstepping controller of HAGCS and high gain observer (HGO) has been implemented using MATLAB/SIMULINK software. The simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed control for improving the quality of the output strip.
