    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a measuring system for measuring a movable object, for example a lateral guide on the transport path of a casting strand in a metallurgical installation. The system has at least one light source (110) for emitting parallel light beams (130) and a receiving device (120) with a sensor field for receiving the light beams. An evaluation device is used to evaluate the light beams received by the sensor field. In order to be able to make the evaluation simpler and faster, the receiving device is designed to generate an image of the sensor field having the positions of the sensors of the sensor field, which are assigned to the light beams not influenced by the object, and having the positions of the sensors of the sensor field, which are assigned to the light beams which are emitted, but are influenced by the object. The distances between the individual sensors are likewise known on the basis of the known resolution of the sensor field. The evaluation device is designed to evaluate the image with regard to the depth of penetration of the object into the spatial area spanned by the light beams, the speed and/or the contour of the object (200).

    Abstract: The invention relates to a roll stand (2) for rolling, in particular cold-rolling, metal products, comprising at least one actuator (16) which can be actuated for actively damping vibrations in the roll stand (2), and at least one supporting roll (10) which is non-adjustable or can be adjusted exclusively via a readjusting device for pass line adjustment (13) of the roll stand (2) for supporting a working roll (5) and/or intermediate roll of the roll stand (2), wherein the supporting roll (10) is guided at the ends via a respective bearing unit (11) on a rack (8) of the roll stand (2). In order to enable an optimal active damping of vibrations in a roll stand (2) of this type with low engineering effort, the invention proposes that the supporting roll (10) is supported on the actuator (16) via at least one bearing unit (11) and that the actuator (16) is supported on a section (17) of the rack (8) either directly or indirectly via at least one component (14) of the readjustment device (13)

    Abstract: The invention relates to a device and a method for straightening pressing a flat metal product, as well as a roll stand (300) comprising said device (100). Known straightening presses typically comprise an upper press frame having a pressing die and a lower press frame having a table for supporting the flat product to be straightened, wherein the upper press frame is arranged opposite the lower press frame and both press frames can be moved vertically with respect to one another. The problem addressed by the invention is that of providing a device (100) for straightening pressing a flat metal product, a roll stand (300) comprising said device (100) and a method for operating a roll stand (300) of this type, which enable economically efficient straightening of flat products. This problem is solved in relation to the device (100) through the subject matter of claim 1. The subject matter is characterized in that the upper press frame (110) comprises carrier elements (114) in the region of both narrow sides thereof as gripping points for a balance device for the upper work roll in a roll stand; and in that the lower press frame (120) comprises support elements (124) in the region of both narrow sides thereof for support on the stands of the roll stand.

    Abstract: A roll stand having work rolls mounted therein. The roll stand has at least one upper mounting rail, which is mounted on the drive-side roll stand frame and oriented in a transverse direction to a rolling line running through the roll stand. In order to be able to keep the assembly space in the roll stand over the rolling line free during rolling—except for a roll change—and still change the roll efficiently, the upper mounting rail is configured to be moved into the rolling line and out of the rolling line, starting from the drive-side roll stand frame.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for controlling and/or regulating an annealing or heat treatment furnace (2) of a production line (1) processing metal material, which comprises the annealing or heat treatment furnace (2) and at least one measuring instrument (7, 8, 17), which detects at least one material property of a strip material (6) located in the production line (1), wherein the annealing or heat treatment furnace (2) and the at least one measuring instrument (7, 8) interact in a regulating and/or control circuit of an automated process control, which regulates and/or controls the annealing or heat treatment furnace (2) in connection with a furnace control, wherein according to the invention, a solution is created wherein an improvement of the process control over the previously known prior art can be achieved. This is achieved in that the at least one measuring instrument (7, 8) is arranged behind the annealing or heat treatment furnace (2) in the strap material processing direction (5) and detects online a measured value reproducing and/or depicting a mechanical material property of the strap material (6) and transmits said measured value to a regulating and/or control unit (18) as a data transfer signal.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a rolling stand for the rolling of metallic rolling stock. The rolling is achieved with the aid of a roll of which the two roll journals (112) are rotatably mounted in recesses (122) of chocks (120). The recesses are supplied with coolant and/or lubricant via a high-pressure inlet (124) and at least one low-pressure inlet (126). The high-pressure inlet is fed via high-pressure conduits (132) from a high-pressure pump (130). To reduce the costs for driving the high-pressure pump in relation to the prior art, the invention provides that the high-pressure pump is rotationally coupled to the roll journal via a gear mechanism in order to be driven thereby.

    Abstract: To minimize the setup times in the case of a tool changeover on rolls, the movement sequences are separated into transverse movements and vertical movements using a tool changeover system and method for changeover of at least one tool disposed on a roll shaft in a working position. In one aspect, the tool changeover system includes a tool changeover rack, a vertical transport and a transverse transport. A drawing frame separate from the tool changeover rack can be transported transversely separately with reference to the tool changeover rack. The tool changeover rack has a device for connecting with the vertical transport and a tool accommodation for accommodating the tool. The drawing frame has a device for connecting with the transverse transport and a device for connecting with the tool.
