Abstract :
Describes how sophisticated control design techniques, successfully applied, have yielded a control system for a three roll bending machine used in the flexible manufacture of colliery arches. It emphasises that advanced control systems are not only capable of improving productivity: in some cases they are the deciding factor in whether a process is possible at all
