Abstract: A method for changing work roll in a rolling mill which limits the risk of scratching the work roll, or even the risk of scratching the metal strip, upon extracting or inserting the work roll, by virtue of a mechanical separation element, in particular of the branches of a fork system, inserted by a robotic element.

Abstract: A shearing device for fragmenting a metal strip includes two counter-rotating drums facing one another, a drive device connecting the drums and synchronising their rotation speed, and at least one pair of drum-supported blades. The blades engage by shearing effect during drum rotation to cut the waste. The blades of the pair have, from the cutting edge thereof, planar surfaces, referred to as overlapping surfaces, overlapping and facing one another during the shearing between blades, each blade being secured transversely to the drum, at an angle to the axis of rotation of the drum, so the plane through the overlapping surface of the blade forms an angle with the axis of rotation of the corresponding drum, producing gradual shearing. The overlapping surface of each blade is tilted so the plane passing through the overlapping surface does not intersect the rotational axis of the drum on its active width.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for changing the rolls on a rolling mill for rolling a metal strip, carried out using a Quarto rolling mill, including lower and upper working and support rolls. The installation includes a system for extracting the working rolls and the support rolls, including: an actuator pushing the rolls out of the roll stand extraction; a coupling head, secured to the actuator, situated in a position of opening of the roll stand, including: a first coupler driving the chock or the end of the lower working roll, on the rolling-mill drive side; a second coupler driving the chock of the lower support roll, on the rolling-mill drive side. The first and second coupler allow successive extractions of the working rolls and then of the support rolls from the roll stand using the actuator of the extraction system. Also disclosed is a related rolling mill installation.

Abstract: Disclosed is a rolling mill including a frame, at least one pair of working cylinders capable of defining the air gap of the strip to be rolled, as well at least one line for spraying a lubricant and/or coolant fluid, arranged next to the plane of the strip to be rolled. The line is rigidly connected to the frame via a hinged mechanical link, the mechanical link including a resilient unit forcing the line into at least one operational position, toward the plane of the strip, and allowing, in the event that a force on the line tends to separate the line, greater than a threshold value, the deformation of the resilient unit against the return force thereof, and thus the retraction of the line toward a position separated from the at least one operational position.
