  • the Rolled strip start is in a Clamping slot of the take-up reel guided, clamped there and automatically wrapped up. After 1 to 2 Tape turns are wound, is on the inlet side and the desired strip tension is applied on the outlet side and the Rolling continues with the desired strip tension. Accordingly, at the end of each roll pass Reaching 1 to 2 remaining turns on the Decoiler of the infeed belt tension down to 0 reduced, the tape clamp on the decoiler released and rolled the strip end until it leaves the roll gap. The next roll pass will be the beginning of the strip forming strip end pushed into the roll gap, such as described.
  • the tape ends are not on their rolled out the entire length, but immediately before Stopped reaching the roll gap. It remains therefore an unrolled piece of tape with the thickness of the Source material, but in comparison to the Band ends of the first known method is short.
  • the disadvantage of this method is the large one Loss length resulting from the non-rolled piece of tape at each end of the belt, the distance between the cropping shears and roll gap corresponds, and from the after each Rolling stitch cut ends together. Is further disadvantage that the cut pieces of tape at must be disposed of every roll pass.

  • the Invention further achieved that the introduction of Tape starts in the clamping slot each as Winding reel functioning reel without problems is possible because the band starts because of the full Passage of the rolling mill in the previous roll pass are always straight. So elaborate straightening roles not required.

From the control device with the actuators and the sensors are only those Light barriers 11, 12 shown on both sides of the rolling mill 1, 2 arranged above the control tables 7, 8 are. With such a device The method according to the invention is carried out as follows:

Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif pour le laminage des extrémités d'une bande enroulée (B) dans un laminoir réversible (1, 2) comportant des bobineuses (3, 4) disposées des deux côtés. L'invention a pour but de réduire les pertes de longueurs, non conformes aux dimensions prescrites, aux extrémités des bandes, tout en n'ayant recours qu'à un minimum de moyens techniques à mettre en oeuvre. Ce but est atteint grâce au fait qu'à chaque passe de laminage, chaque début de bande (A) est introduit dans l'écartement (S) des cylindres, sans tension de la bande, ni effort de laminage côté entrée, et que l'effort de laminage est ensuite progressivement accru jusqu'à obtention de la valeur de consigne, et que la tension de la bande côté sortie est appliquée lorsque le début (A) de la bande est raccordé à la bobineuse (4). A la fin de chaque passe de laminage, la tension de la bande est annulée, l'extrémité (E) de la bande traversant complètement l'écartement des cylindres sans être soumise à une quelconque tension et se trouvant ainsi réduite en épaisseur.

Claims (6)
