In order to solve the influence of tension control instability on the quality and production efficiency of corrugated cardboard.Based on volume and dynamic analysis, the establishment of the corrugated base paper tension in the mathematical model, and analysis the main factors leading to the stable tension. According to the traditional PID control cannot achieve the base paper tension control in the process of adaptive parameter adjustment, put forward a kind of variable domain adaptive fuzzy PID control strategy, using the variable universe fuzzy control to realize the control parameter self integration and control rules of the self adjustment, and its application in base paper tension control system.The simulation results show that the response time of the tension control strategy is about 0.65 s, and the maximum overshoot is 3%.The control methods which were designed compared with the traditional PID control, has fast response speed and anti-interference ability, stable control advantages, to achieve stable control of the original paper.
