In order to meet speed synchronization and load balancing control requirements for driving continuous presses, the authors designed a load balancing algorithm based on the SIMOTION platform. The authors took into consideration both continuous pressing technology for wood-based panel production and the mechanical structure of the continuous presses. The load balancing algorithm was applied in real time operation of a driving control system in a continuous press. The application results showed that loading of each driving unit was effectively distributed with up to 1‰ of velocity precision.
