  • Tension control in a metal rolling mill
    Patent number: 4548063
    Abstract: A metal rolling mill for reducing the thickness of a metal workpiece passed between a pair of opposed work rolls is controlled to maintain substantially constant tension in the workpiece on the entry side of the work rolls to thereby improve the uniformity of the workpiece gate at the mill output. Working in conjunction with a standard control for delivering the workpiece is a scheme for compensating for thickness variations in the workpiece at the entry side of the work rolls which variations would result in tension changes which would adversely affect output gage consistency.
