    摘要: Methods and apparatus to determine a plunge depth position of material conditioning machines are disclosed. An example method for setting a plunge depth of a leveler includes incrementally adjusting, via an actuator, a first work roll relative to a second work roll between a plurality of incremental plunge depth positions; measuring a pressure value in the actuator at the respective incremental plunge depth positions; associating the measured pressure values with the corresponding incremental plunge depth positions; detecting a smallest one of the measured pressure values; and identifying a first one of the incremental plunge depth positions corresponding to the smallest one of the measured pressure values.

    摘要: Methods and Apparatus to increase the efficiency of roll-forming and leveling systems are described herein. An example strip material processing apparatus includes a first drive system to drive an exit workroll at an exit of the strip material processing apparatus, and a second drive system to drive an entry workroll at an entry of the strip material processing apparatus, where the strip material is to travel through the strip material processing apparatus from the entry to the exit. The example strip material processing apparatus also includes a controller to provide a first command reference to the first drive system to drive the exit workroll at the first command reference. The controller is to determine a first torque value of the first drive system when the first drive system operates at the first command reference, and the controller is to determine a second torque value based on a ratio of the first torque value to the second torque value such that the first torque value and the second torque value are different. The controller is to also drive the entry workroll via the second drive system to maintain the ratio.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus to determine a plunge depth position of material conditioning machines are disclosed. An example method incrementally adjusting a first plunge depth position of a first adjustable work roll and a first fixed work roll between an initial first roll plunge depth position and a final first roll plunge depth position. The method includes incrementally adjusting a second plunge depth position of a second adjustable work roll and a second fixed work roll between an initial second roll plunge depth position and a final second roll plunge depth position. The method includes measuring first pressure values of a first actuator associated with the first adjustable work roll at each incremental first plunge depth position, identifying a first relative minimum pressure value of the measured first pressure values, and determining a first incremental plunge depth position corresponding to the first relative minimum pressure value.
