Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for correcting the thickness of a metal strip during rolling comprising a roll stand with adjusting elements to regulate the thickness of the strip and at least one take-up coiler. The object to provide a method and a device to correct the thickness of a metal strip during rolling using a roll stand which ensures the production of rolled strip with a reduced thickness tolerance is solved according to method by the fact that an average strip thickness of a strip section is determined from at least one strip length measurement and the measurement of the dedicated rotation of the take-up coiler and the adjusting elements of the roll stand are controlled at least depending on the average strip thickness of the strip section. With the method according to the invention the adjusting elements can be controlled almost independently of the ambient conditions of the roll stand so that the thickness tolerances of the rolled strip can be effectively reduced.

Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for strip processing with at least one uncoiling station, at least one strip processing station (1) and at least one coiling station. Especially to reduce undesirable strip-edge stresses, a known apparatus for strip processing is configured such that a strip-edge stretching station (2) which stretches the edges of the strip, is provided between the uncoiling station and the coiling station.

Abstract: A process of treating metal strips using a linear electric motor with spaced apart motor elements comprises directing the metal strips into the space between the motor elements and operating the motor to produce a travelling wave and advancing the strip between the motor parts without contact thereof at a velocity greatly reduced with respect to the velocity of the linear electric motor wave so as to produce a slippage between the wave and the strip and to effect the heating of the strip as it is advanced. The apparatus includes a linear electric motor including a first motor unit spaced away from a second motor unit in the form of a linear motor or return bar so as to form a gap therebetween through which the metal strip is advanced. The apparatus includes means for feeding the strip through straightening rolls and cropping shears, S-rollers and coiling and uncoiling reels.
