Abstract: A roller guide for the guidance of the wire or rod between the finish rolling mill stands of a wire or rod rolling line. The guide has a guide roller pair which are mutually juxtaposed and journaled on free ends of pivot arms of double arm levers. The lever journals are connected with a support body between the finish mill rolls of the rolling line and which has a centering funnel for the rolled wire or rod between the double arm levers. The whereby the pivotal displacements of the pivot arms are settable and spring adjustable about the lever journals. The roller guide is improved in that the pivot arms have setting elements pressed against the support body and in that an adjustable-pressure pneumatic spring connected with the support body and bearing upon the pivot arm extending away from the guide roller or is connected with this pivot arm.

Abstract: The invention relates to a roller guide for the guidance of the wire or rod between the finish rolling mill stands of a wire or rod rolling line, comprised of a guide roller pair (FR1; FR2) which are mutually juxtaposed and journalled on the free ends of the pivot arms (SA1; SA2) of double arm levers (DH). The lever journals (HL) are connected with a support body between the finish mill rolls of the rolling line and which receives a centering funnel (ZT) for the rolled wire or rod between the double arm levers (DH) whereby the pivotal displacement of the pivot arms (SA1; SA2) are settable and spring adjustable about the lever journals.

Abstract: A rolling train for structural shapes in which at least on one side of a train having a plurality of mill stands, e.g. universal mill stands, a detector is provided for the actual profile of the rolled product. The actual profile is compared with a setpoint profile and corrected setpoint values for the operating parameters of the individual stands are generated for a corrected subsequent rolling operation or even the same rolling operation, appropriately weighted for the contribution of the various stands to the rolling effect.

Abstract: Rolling stock is transported in a transporting device from a front roll stand to a rear roll stand. Between the roll stands, the rolling stock carries out an oscillation transverse to the transporting direction. At least one characteristic property, amplitude or frequency, of the oscillation is determined quantitatively and, from this determination, a tension or compression, existing in the rolling stock between the roll stands is determined. One of the roll stands is readjusted in such a manner, that a desired tension is built up in the rolling stock between the roll stands.

Abstract: A method and an arrangement for operating a rotating starting shear operating in a start-stop operation on rolling stock travelling at different speeds in wire mills, light-section mills, medium plate mills and billet mills, wherein the shear, whose gear system is connected through a coupling to a drive motor, is accelerated from the position of rest to approximately rolling speed and, after the cut has been carried out, is stopped again. A gear machine is arranged between the gear unit of the shear and the drive motor, wherein torsion-proof couplings are arranged between the gear unit or the shear and the gear mechanism and between the gear mechanism and the drive motor.

Abstract: A roll support frame without housing for pairs of rolls is supported on two sides in bearing chocks, wherein the roll support frame can be moved into and out of a unilaterally open housing which contains the drive transmission and adjusting devices for the rolls. The roll support frame is composed of a box-shaped element with entry and exit passages, guides for the rolling stock and support and guide elements arranged at the box-shaped element for the bearing chock pairs of each of the two rolls.

Abstract: A method of rolling a bar-shaped stock to predetermined end height and end width measured transverse to the end height and including providing a rolling will train having a plurality of arranged one after another active rolling mill stands having adjustable roll rips and forming rolling mill stand pairs, providing a respective plurality of hydraulic cylinder units for adjusting the roll rips of respective rolling mil stands, rolling the bar-shaped stock through the rolling mill stands, and compensating at least a fraction, individually for each of the plurality of rolling mill stands, of rolling force-caused spring-offs of the respective rolling mill stands by controlling operations of respective hydraulic cylinder units.

Abstract: A tension control method for a rolling stock section located between a front roll stand and a rear roll stand of a rolling train, wherein a tensioning element with an actual adjusting force is adjusted relative to the rolling stock section, so that the rolling stock section is deflected by the tensioning element by an actual deflection; the actual adjusting force and the actual deflection are determined; and a tension existing between the front roll stand and the rear roll stand in the rolling stock section is adjusted such that the actual adjusting force approaches a desired adjusting force and/or the actual deflection approaches a desired deflection.

Abstract: A method and a device for placing wire windings onto a conveyor belt, particularly onto a Stelmor conveyor belt, wherein the wire windings are placed on the conveyor belt in an actual position relative to the belt middle. The wire windings are placed on the conveyor belt in a position-controlled manner relative to the belt middle. The device for carrying out the method includes a sensor for determining the actual position of the wire windings on the conveyor belt and a control unit, - wherein an actual position and a nominal position are supplied to the control unit and the control unit determines from the difference between the actual position and the nominal position a control signal for the control element and supplies this signal to the control element.

Abstract: A method of rolling rod-shaped rolling stock, particularly rod steel or wire, in a roll stand having two work rolls which are adjustable relative to each other in an adjusting direction and which together form a roll groove with an actual roll gap, so that the rolling stock exits the roll stand with an actual height and an actual width at a rolling speed, wherein the rolling stock is rolled with an actual rolling force. The method includes the steps of adjusting the work rolls through a hydraulic cylinder unit; measuring the actual rolling force; measuring with the aid of the actual rolling force a roll gap spring-back resulting from the rolling force; determining with the aid of the roll gap spring-back and a desired roll gap a roll adjustment correction value such that the actual roll gap approaches the desired roll gap; and changing a roll adjustment within a stand control time by the roll adjustment correction value.

Abstract: A method of regulating the cross-section of rolling stock through a looper for the rolling stock, particularly between roll stands in section rolling mills. In accordance with the method, the horizontal forces in the rolling stock are varied by varying the loop height, and width increases or width adjustments of the rolling stock are purposefully influenced through the horizontal forces.

Abstract: A method and an arrangement for the controlled formation of loops of rolling stock between two roll stands, particularly in the finishing or intermediate trains of small and medium iron trains. In the method, the rolling stock emerging from the roll stand is allowed to drop as a result of gravity, the front end of the rolling stock is then deflected in the direction of the subsequent roll stand and the rolling stock is temporarily supported during the deflection phase until the front end of the rolling stock has entered the subsequent stand and the loop control unit stabilizes the loop. The arrangement for carrying out the above-described method includes a support and guide member for at least the rear roll stand of two roll stands. The support and guide member is inclined downwardly and extends toward the front roll stand.
