A Control Design Technique for Grinding Systems with Feedforward Undercompensation and Feedback Control

Feedforward and feedback control are new control algorithms used in industrial processes control and very suitable for grinding systems control. The purpose of this paper is to provide a design technique for a control system of a grinding circuit using the feedforward and feedback control. The control scheme is based on the undercompensation of the milling feed flow. The best value of the undercompensation is chosen after analyzing several scenarios. The controller design based on this value proves to provide improved productivity.
