Abstract: A coiling method for wire-shaped rolling stock having a rolling stock tip, wherein the rolling stock is supplied with its rolling stock tip at a rolling stock speed through an inlet guide means to a coiling drum having an initial circumference. A coiling device for carrying out the coiling method includes a coiling drum having an initial circumference onto which the rolling stock can be coiled with its rolling stock tip and an inlet device for supplying and transporting the rolling stock to the coiling drum. The coiling device further includes a clamping device arranged on the coiling drum and provided with a clamping gap which can be opened and closed. In addition, the coiling device includes a sensor device for detecting the rolling stock tip in the clamping gap.

Abstract: A high-capacity wire rolling mill including a wire train and/or rod steel train for concrete reinforcing steel and simple carbon steels, further including a continuous casting plant or a continuous casting wheel for high production, a direct interconnection of the continuous casting plant or casting wheel to the rolling mill, a buffer furnace between the continuous casting plant or the casting wheel and the rolling mill for compensating production differences and smaller rolling mill interruptions, a compact roughing train and intermediate train I, a unit calibration for the train sections, looping by 180.degree.

Abstract: In the continuous rolling of wire from a heated billet in a continuous wire-rod mill in which the rolled product passes through the rolling stand of a roughing line and an intermediate line, the finish rolling is effected in at least one finish rolling line having double rolling stands with respective pairs of horizontal and vertical rolls. The double stands or units are spaced apart and along a portion of the spacing between them, rolling stretches are provided.
