  • Patent number: 4845970
    Abstract: Two rolls are supported laterally in bearings in two pairs of side-by-side members with the members being supported by a frame. Adjustment of synchronization and registration is accomplished by adjusting the relative positions of the side-by-side members in or against the rolling direction. The relative positions of the rolls can be adjusted by use of notches engraved in the ends of the rolls; and can be continuously monitored with the aid of a stroboscope light. Magnetic signal devices and other sensors are also suitable for monitoring. Continuous adjustment of roll position is accomplished through low-pitch screws or through hydraulic or electric positioning motors.
