  • Patent number: 7430887
    Abstract: In the case of a measuring roller for determining flatness deviations when handling material in strip form, for example when rolling metal strip, the stress distribution is measured over the width of the strip with the aid of piezoelectric sensors, which are arranged in longitudinal recesses of a solid roller at a distance from the casing surface and are wedged there
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7089771
    Abstract: In a method and a strip treatment installation, in particular a strip rolling mill train or a strip rolling stand, to avoid strip stickers, as the material is being wound up the distribution of the radial pressure exerted by the strip on the coiler drum or a winding reel is measured over the strip width, then the measured values are used to produce a reproduction of the actual local stress distribution in the strip, and this reproduction is used as a template for a set curve for controlling the strip tensile stress distribution, on the basis of which actuators of the strip treatment installation are adjusted with a view to achieving a uniform compressive stress distribution.

  • Patent number: 6840475
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for the rolling or winding of strip having an equal thickness over the strip width, in which the tension in a strip length portion limited by rolls, winders, or control, guide or deflecting rollers is measured by means of a measuring roller. In order, in this case, to obtain more accurate measurement values and keep disturbing stresses away from the measuring point, between the measuring roller and an assembly (roll, winder, or control, guide or deflecting roller) causing disturbing stresses in the strip, a partitioning device for absorbing the disturbing stresses is arranged.

  • Patent number: 6354013
    Abstract: A measuring roller for determining flatness deviations when rolling metal strip measures the stress distribution, for example, with the aid of force measuring sensors over the width of the strip, said sensors being arranged in recesses in the measuring roller at a distance from the wall of the recess and thus being surrounded by an annular gap. The annular gap is closed off to the outside and connected to axially parallel ducts for the feed and discharge of a coolant.

  • Patent number: 6138506
    Abstract: The invention concerns a measuring idler-roller for measuring stress distution of flexible bands that are moved in the direction of their length, in which roller force-measuring transducers arranged in recesses or their covers are surrounded by a plastic layer that fills in a gap and prevents the penetration of fine abraded metal particles, and makes easier the installation of the cover and/or the measuring transducer.

  • Patent number: 5953946
    Abstract: In an apparatus for straightening metal strip comprising guide rolls arranged parallel to one another a straightening roll is arranged in the gusset space between two guide rolls which has the strip wrapped round it in a form-fitting manner between two lines of contact along which the guide rolls are in indirect contact with the straightening roll. This makes it possible to straighten even high-strength strip without the need to apply tensile loads which exceed the magnitude needed to transport the strip through the apparatus.

  • Patent number: 4366720
    Abstract: A device for measuring stress distribution across the width of flexible litudinally moving strip material, such as strip steel during coldrolling. The device includes a deflection measuring roller comprised of a plurality of rotatable sections mounted side-by-side. Some of the sections have force pick-ups fitted therein and the elements cooperatively function to detect and measure deflection as an indication of stress distribution across the strip.

  • Patent number: 4300403
    Abstract: Apparatus for measuring stress distribution across the width of a flexible strip travelling in the direction of its length, comprising a pick-up deflector roller having a plurality of rings, encased in a tire of flexible material, the edges of the rings being cut away to produce local stress in the tire as compared with a smooth cylindrical roller.

  • Patent number: 4127027
    Abstract: An arrangement for measuring stress distribution over the width of a longdinally moving flexible strip wherein there are provided force transmitters and a deflection measuring roller made up of closely adjacent rings running with the strip under stress and reacting upon said force transmitters, wherein the force transmitters produce parallel switching output signals and rotate in a distortion-free position with said rings which are secured relatively to each other against distortion, the force transmitters being offset peripherally relative to adjacent rings and being connected in parallel circuit groups to a common rotation transmitter for which the output is designed for measurement value processing.
