Abstract:
Control system for profile adjustment of a property on an elongated sheet material, such as a rubber, during the manufacturing thereof. The system can include two gauges disposed on the output side of the manufacturing apparatus, one gauge being movable between an edge and the center portion of the sheet and the other gauge being at the other sheet edge. The manufacturing apparatus has a first actuator for adjusting the property at one sheet end portion and a second actuator for adjusting the property at the other end portion. The first and second actuators together act to adjust the property across the entire width of the material including a central portion intermediate to the end portions. A third actuator adjusts the central portion property in relation to the end portions. The gauges are coupled to a controller that periodically activates the first and second actuators together with the gauges at the end portions and the third actuator separately with the one gauge at the center portion. The first and second actuators are energized, upon actuation, to restore the end portions to their respective target values. The third actuator is energized, upon actuation, by the controller means only when the difference between the central portion property and the property of one of the end portions deviates from a predetermined amount. When there is such a deviation the third actuator initiates an adjustment that returns the central portion to match the edge value.
Abstract:
The present invention considerably improves the rolling mill in the flatness control function, by arranging either of a pair of upper and lower work rolls as a small-diameter roll, offsetting the small-diameter work roll by a required distance in the rolling direction, providing an intermediate roll between the small-diameter work roll and a backup roll, letting a vertical bending force act on the upper and lower work rolls and the intermediate roll, and letting a horizontal bending force act on the small-diameter work roll.
Abstract:
A mill stand having a pair of work rolls cooperating with at least one backup roll. Bending forces are applied to at least one work roll at or adjacent the ends thereof. The work rolls may be offset with respect to the backup rolls in either an upstream or downstream direction, and the bending forces may be applied in the direction of offset. The forces may be applied to both work rolls. An opposing force may be applied to the opposite side of the work rolls intermediate the bending forces applied to the work roll ends either through the strip tension differential or a direct application. A rolling mill stand having a pair of cooperating work rolls and cooperating backup rolls has a pair of first auxiliary rolls applying forces at or adjacent the ends of the work rolls. The work rolls may be offset and the bending forces are applied in the direction of offset. Second auxiliary rolls may be provided intermediate the first auxiliary rolls to provide an opposing force.
Abstract:
A six-high rolling (also known as sexto) mill stand that is suited for hot rolling an intermediate strip into a thin strip that is less than 0.8 mm thick. A combined casting and rolling installation that includes the six-high rolling mill stand allowing for hot rolling in long uninterrupted sequences, without any change of the work rolls to obtain a strip with good geometry due to moderate rolling forces.
Abstract:
In a tandem rolling mill facility and a rolling method using the tandem rolling mill facility, stable rolling is performed with suppressing deflection of working rolls and without fluctuation of working roll bearing boxes. Axes of working rolls 1 are offset toward a side opposite to a side of larger tension between tensions acting on a rolled material 10 at an inlet side and an outlet side with respect to axes of intermediate rolls 2, and a hydraulic cylinder 11 for pushing a working roll bearing box 4 toward the same side as the offset direction is contained in a block 8.

Abstract:
The rolling mill stand, for example a four-high rolling mill stand, for strip mills, with adjusting devices acting horizontally and/or vertically on the rolls for roll nip regulation is characterized by a dual bearing for the work rolls (1, 2) in respectively two inner and outer mounting members (5, 6), which latter, for attaining the same change in shape over the strip width, are horizontally adjustable by deflecting the rolls (1, 2) in the horizontal direction by adjusting devices (7, 8), as well as by a positional control of the inner and/or outer mounting members (5, 6). With the aid of the horizontal deflection device, a position-controlled horizontal adjustment of the work rolls (1, 2) can be performed for compensating for the horizontal forces and/or for a strip thickness regulation while maintaining the horizontal bending curve (13) of the work rolls required for planeness of the strip (14).
