    摘要: The invention is directed to a safety device for a machine that includes a first transceiver unit for emitting a first light beam in a first time slot and for receiving a second light beam. The safety device includes a second transceiver unit arranged for emitting the second light beam in a second time slot that is different from the first one. The safety device also includes an evaluation unit for determining a reflecting object between the first transceiver unit and the second transceiver unit, only if the first light beam is received by the first transceiver unit in the first time slot or the second light beam is received by the second transceiver unit in the second time slot. Additionally, a non-reflecting object may be detected, if by neither of the two transceiver units in both time slots one of the two light beams is received.

    摘要: A method that includes moving a sheet material between first and second groups of rolls following a winding path according to a setpoint speed, driving the first group of rolls by a first drive, driving the second group by a second drive independent of the first drive, measuring the speed of the first drive, measuring the speed of the second drive controlling the speed of the first drive by means of a first torque setpoint signal which is a function of a first error signal obtained from the difference between the setpoint speed and the speed of the first drive, and controlling the speed of the second drive by means of a second torque setpoint signal which is a function of a second error signal obtained from the difference between the setpoint speed and the speed of the second drive, and is also a function of an additional torque gain.

    摘要: A crack detection device performs online identification of the occurrence and propagation of a crack in the surface of the barrel portion of a rolling roll. A rolling roll is provided with the crack detection function without any substantial modification of the rolling device and without any continuous disposition of multiple sensors in the rolling roll. The detection device is incorporated in a rolling device having a barrel portion and shaft portions extending as a unit from both ends of the barrel portion and includes the rolling roll where an AE sensor detecting elastic waves generated on a surface of the barrel portion and a calculation unit calculating a feature value of the elastic waves detected by the AE sensor are disposed in at least one of the shaft portions and a discrimination unit discriminating, from the feature value, elastic waves attributable to a crack occurring in the barrel surface.

    摘要: Hot rolling stock (1) made of metal which is rolled in at least one roll stand (2) and then cooled in a cooling section (5) arranged downstream of the at least one roll stand (2). Sound generated by means of a sound generator arrangement (8) is coupled into the rolling stock (1) by a coupling device (1) so that a standing sound wave is formed at least in the region of the rolling stock (1) which is located in the vicinity of the coupling device (10).
