Patent number: 8616034Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling a side guide of a metal strip (1), in particular in the inlet or outlet of roll stands or driving apparatuses, wherein the side guide comprises a guide (2, 4) disposed laterally to the metal strip (1) on both sides of the metal strip (1), and the guides (2, 4) can be displaced independently of each other. One of the guides (2) is thereby driven by means of position control, and a second of the guides (4) is driven by means of force control, wherein forces of the metal strip (1) acting on the first guide (2) and the second guide (4) are measured. The target force for the second, force-controlled guide (4) is thereby prescribed as a function of the measured force on the first, position-controlled guide (2), wherein as the force on the first, position-controlled guide (2) increases, the target force for the second, force-controlled guide (4) is reduced.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2010Date of Patent: December 31, 2013Assignee: SMS Siemag AktiengesellschaftInventor: Matthias Tuschhoff

Publication number: 20040244452Abstract: The invention relates to a plurality of methods and devices which are used to wind a thin metal strip (1), especially a hot rolled or cold rolled thin steel strip, onto a winding mandrel (3a), the diameter thereof being adjusted. To begin with, the coil en inner windings (12,18) are wound onto the adjusted diameter of the winding mandrel, and after the coil (11) has been wound, the winding mandrel (3a) is removed or the coil (11) taken off. According to a first method, in order to prevent individual windings (12,18) from detaching themselves in the eye of the coil (15) due to stiffening of windings, at least one profiled rise or profiled cavity is pressed into one inner winding or a plurality of adjacent inner windings (12,18) on the circumference during rotation of the coil.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 19, 2004Publication date: December 9, 2004Inventors: Klaus Baumer, Klaus Ginsberg, Matthias Tuschhoff
