Abstract: A driver for a steel strip coiler, having at least one supporting driving roller mounted on a frame, and at least one driving roller, which can be adjusted with respect to the supporting driving roller and is mounted on at least one rocker connected to the frame, wherein the driving roller is attached to a bearing region of the rocker. The bearing region is open for the insertion or removal of the driving roller toward the side and/or upwardly when the rocker is placed in the operating position. The driver has a fixing mechanism for fixing the driving roller to the bearing region. The method for removing a driving roller from such a driver includes opening the fixing mechanism and removing the driving roller toward the side or upwardly from the driver.

Abstract: A device and a method for changing drive rollers of drivers of a rolling mill system. There are a driver station (23) and/or a reel station (24) of the hot-rolling mill system, at least one driver roller storage station (27) and at least one driver roller conditioning station (28), viewed from the hot-rolling mill stations in the direction of the reel station on the extension of the longitudinal axis of the hot-rolling mill system. At least one manipulator (29) is displaceable at least between the driver station and the driver roller conditioning station and the driver roller storage station, and optionally also the hot-rolling station to remove, transfer and install drive rollers at each station.

Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus and a method for cropping the ends of or for separating test pieces from rolled strip wound into bundles. An apparatus is disclosed which, by means of an outwardly pivotable bottom roller (2) and guide devices (5, 6, 7, 8, 13, 14) for guiding the strip end to the shears, also makes it possible to process strips which are thicker or of greater firmness and are wound into bundles (10). Furthermore, a method is specified, which allows a reliable sampling and, if appropriate, inspection of the sample from strips wound into bundles, a closed bundle being obtained again after sampling.

Abstract: A method is indicated for applying a connecting element (3) in a moisture-proof manner to a high-frequency cable (1) containing at least one tubular electric conductor (7) which is surrounded by a sheath made of an insulating material. First, the sheath (10) is removed from the end of the conductor (7). Then a socket-shaped metal contact part (11,12) is attached to this end of the conductor (7) so that it makes electrical contact. A sealing material is placed between the contact part and conductor (7) on the one hand, and the contact part and the sheath (10) on the other. The sealing material for a seal (15) is made up of at least two components, which after the installation of the contact part (11, 12) enlarges its volume to such a degree that it fills the peripheral hollow space between the contact part (11, 12) and the conductor (7), and between the contact part (11, 12) and the sheath (10), at least in the transition area from the conductor (7) to the sheath (10).

Abstract: A fitting for fastening a cable (2) to a wall (1) is indicated, which comprises a base (6) to be fastened to the wall (1) and a cap (7). The end of the base (6) which in the installed position faces away from the wall has a trough (8) for receiving the cable (2), which in the installed position is closed by the cap (7). The base (6) has three separate faces (9, 10, 11) which form the corners of a triangle for the attachment to the wall (1). The part of the cap (7) which in the installed position is applied against the cable is elastically deformable.

Abstract: A palm-button control system provides for machinery control with minimized operator hand pressure by use of capacitive switches and reduced susceptibility to radio frequency interference. The system employs first and second capacitive palm-button switches, both of which must be contacted before machinery is activated. Each capacitive palm-button includes a radio frequency sensor which functions to disable machine activation in the presence of a sufficiently strong radio signal. Circuitry for periodically testing the radio frequency sensors provides periodic visual operator feedback indicative of operability of the system. All controls are synchronized or enabled in accordance with a series of digital pulses.
