In　view　of　the　time　variability　and　the　non-linear　character　in　rolling　mills,　for　example　UC　rolling　mill,　a　AFNNC　with　self-adapting　ability　is　developed　after　a　PID　controller　have　been　finished.　Compared　with　PID　controller,　the　simulation　shows　that　AFNNC　has　more　desirable　performance　in　self-adapting　ability　and　robustness.　This　control　method　is　very　useful　for　improving　the　quality　of　shape　control.
