Abstract: A method of operating a rolling mill for hot-rolling and cold-rolling of flat products in one or more roll stands each having two or more rolls, wherein the roll gaps are regulated so as to correct the differential force between the drive side and the operator side of the roll stands, while compensating the adjustment value-controlled regulation of the roll gaps which corrects the bending and balancing forces. Prior to further processing of the flat products, the regulation is supplied with an additional correction adjustment value formed from the horizontal forces measured in all individual rolls.

Abstract: A continuously cast steel strip which consists of a solidified casting shell and a liquid core is reduced in thickness in a roll deformation and is then rolled. In order to avoid undesired fluctuations in thickness, to improve the structure and to simplify the roll deformation unit, a steel strip billet of 40-80 mm thickness is cast, roll deformed to 15-40 mm thickness having a 2-15 mm residual liquid core in a maximum of three steps. The roll deformed billet is then guided to complete solidification.

The thin slabs are homogenized and adjusted to rolling temperature in an equalizing furnace and the thin slabs are transferred from the equalizing furnace to the rolling line. Roller-type turning furnaces provided in each of the casting lines and in the rolling line are use by turning the roller-type turning furnaces toward each other into positions which are inclined relative to the casting and rolling lines in the manner of switches for alternatingly conveying thin slabs from one of the casting lines through the roller-type turning furnaces into the rolling line.

Abstract: A casing for holding electronic components and the like, is provided on each of its side walls facing away from one another with two fastening lugs which project laterally therefrom and are each provided with an opening for the passage of a screw, and which are associated with casing side edges corresponding to one another. The openings for the passage of a screw which are provided in fastening lugs lying opposite one another and associated with the same side wall of the casing are in each case free from overlap, in their projection, with the fastening lug lying opposite. The arrangement of the fastening lugs makes possible the installation of the casing in both right-hand and left-hand drive vehicles without being mounted with mirror inversion. This provides advantages, for example, when there is restricted space to accommodate the cable leading out of the casing.
