Abstract: A rolling apparatus for rolling angle profiles from rolling stock has upper and lower horizontal profile rolls rotatable about respective parallel upper and lower axes and together defining an open or closed roll gap that lies in a rolling plane perpendicular to a travel direction of the rolling stock. At least one pair of nonhorizontal edging rolls laterally compress the rolling stock and define a rolling plane extending perpendicular to the travel direction of the rolling stock. The rolling plane defined by the profile rolls and the rolling plane defined by the pair of edging rolls are not coplanar with each other. This rolling stand can do angle rolling in reversing and also continuous operating mode.

Abstract: Sheet piling and like steel shapes are made in a caliber rolling mill having upper and lower rolls of suitable contour. One of the rolls is axially fixed and the other can be shifted axially in opposite directions so that shoulders of the rolls engage and these positions are stored along with a relationship of axial force and spring constants of the mill frame. The rolling then takes these stored values into consideration.

Abstract: A rolling roll train of the staggered-roll tandem type has a pair of upright stand walls with windows or openings for receiving a multiplicity of pairs of rolls which can be changed as a unit. The fact that unitary walls with traverses between the walls for stabilizing them and where those traverses are located between the roll pairs, enables the spacing between the roll pairs to be substantially reduced by comparison with free-standing individual mill stands for the roll pairs.

Abstract: An apparatus for repositioning the web of a rolled structural shape such as an H-beam or I-beam in which the web spans between two flanges. The horizontal rolls of the mill stand are individually adjusted by computer based upon a measurement of the web profile upstream of the mill stand along a conveyor for the workpiece so that the rolling gap is located centrally between the upper and lower flange edges notwithstanding the fact that the web may have originally been off-center.

Abstract: In a rolling method for a profiled section performed in a universal roll stand with horizontal rolls and vertical rolls having a vertical roll center, hydraulic cylinder units configured to adjust the horizontal rolls are provided. The horizontal rolls are adjusted with the hydraulic cylinder units, based on a preset nominal horizontal roll gap, toward one another to form an actual horizontal roll gap, wherein the horizontal rolls are adjusted with the preset nominal horizontal roll gap symmetrically relative to the vertical roll centers. An additional nominal value is supplied to the hydraulic cylinder units and, based on the additional nominal value, the horizontal rolls are vertically adjusted in the same direction by the same amount. The vertical rolls are adjusted toward the horizontal rolls to form actual vertical roll gaps. A universal roll stand for performing the device is also described.

Abstract: In a calibration method for a universal roll stand with horizontal rolls and vertical rolls, wherein the horizontal rolls are supported in upper and lower horizontal chocks and the vertical rolls are supported in vertical chocks and wherein the horizontal rolls are configured to be screwed down on one another and the vertical rolls are configured to be screwed down on the horizontal rolls, the vertical chocks are moved between the horizontal chocks such that vertical roll gaps remain between the horizontal rolls and the vertical rolls. Subsequently, spacers are arranged between the vertical chocks and at least one of the upper and the lower horizontal chocks. The horizontal chocks are advanced toward one another until the horizontal chocks contact the vertical chocks or the spacers, wherein the horizontal chocks during advancing are loaded maximally with an advancing force. The horizontal chocks are loaded after completion of advancing with a calibration force which is greater than the advancing force.

Abstract: An apparatus and a method for determining and setting the center of a roll stand and adjusting positions of a roll stand, wherein the bearing chocks of the horizontal rolls have processed planar support surfaces located opposite each other and preferably parallelepiped-shaped spacer pieces with defined dimensions are placed on these support surfaces. Defined pressures are applied to the spacer pieces by adjusting the rolls, wherein the resulting adjustment positions are determined and used as actual values for the position determining system which controls the roll stand during the rolling operation.

Abstract: A shifting device for rolling stock placed on a roller conveyor includes a pair of linear shifting members which can be moved toward each other and away from each other transversely of the conveying direction of the roller conveyor and above the conveying plane of the roller conveyor, wherein the linear shifting members are each arranged on guide crossheads which are supported on rollers and are driven by drive devices arranged stationary outside of the roller conveyor so as to move the guide crossheads between and parallel to the rollers of the roller conveyor. The rollers supporting the guide crossheads are mounted in the two end portions of each guide crosshead and are guided on roller tables arranged on both sides of the conveying path of the roller conveyor and connected to the support frames of the roller conveyor.

Abstract: A universal roll stand including a multiple-part stationary roll housing on the drive side and a multiple-part roll housing on the operator side which can be moved away, wherein the housings are connected to each other through hydraulically pretensioned tie rods or the like. The roll housings are composed of conventional two-high housing frames and vertical frames which can be fixedly anchored to the two-high housing frames. The vertical frames may be composed of several parts and include two flange-mounted beams arranged spaced apart from each other by the distance between the housing beams of the roll stand and a crosshead connected to the flange-mounted beams.

Abstract: A device for changing the vertical position of the vertical rolls in universal roll stands for rolling girders of different heights, wherein the vertical cross section of the housing of the bearing chock is constructed asymmetrically and the vertical distances of the planes of the two slideways of the bearing chock from the horizontal longitudinal center plane of the vertical roll are dimensioned differently. The increase of the distance between the roller table and the center of the vertical roll can also be achieved by shims which can be placed and fastened on horizontal guide surfaces of the bearing chocks of the vertical rolls of the universal roll stand.

Abstract: A universal roll stand with a divided housing on the operator side, wherein a vertical housing stirrup engages between the upper and lower separating lines or planes of separation of the housing. A transfer element overlapping the two separating lines for transmitting the vertical forces between the upper and lower housing parts is arranged in each lateral housing groove arranged on both sides of the roll housing on the operator side.

The rolling mill stand is arranged together with additional rolling mill stands of the same type adjacent to each other in series transversely to the rolling direction. The rolls can be connected to drive units or to drive transmission elements arranged between the rolls of adjacent rolling mill stands. Adjustable and fixable guide members for the rolled material are arranged on both sides of the rolling gaps for each of the rolls. The guide members are adapted for the section passes and are mounted jointly on support members which can be connected to the rolling stand. Connecting tops are hinged to the beams of the rolling mill stand and can be slid upwardly and pivoted outwardly for removing the roll.
