Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for strip position control and a method for this.
- the preferably endless strip material to be galvanized is passed through a zinc-containing bath, so that a zinc film or a zinc coating forms on the strip material.
- the excess zinc material is then removed again with a pneumatic scraper, so that a material saving can be realized and a desired uniform support thickness of the zinc material can be achieved.
- the endless metal strip is conveyed by means of rollers to the bath of a galvanizing plant and also guided by rollers along the transport path through the zinc bath.
- the galvanizing plant and the rolls are manually adjusted to the respectively optimum position by means of existing adjusting devices, whereby the strip quality, the thickness, the width, the tension of the strip and the coating task play a decisive role for them Play settings.
- the adjustment is carried out by the operating personnel of the plant and according to the experience of the corresponding persons or by stored tables based on experience. Yet again and again there is an unsatisfactory coating quality because the band buckles or bends in the system and therefore does not run through the system.
- JP 09 143 652 a device for magnetic damping of band vibrations is known.
- a static curvature or a wrong band position can not be reliably corrected during operation of the system.
- the object with respect to the device is achieved by a device for band position control of a belt having at least one sensor for detecting a curvature of the tape in a direction transverse to the longitudinal direction of the tape and / or for detecting a distance of the tape from a predetermined tape position, which Tape layer is also called, wherein at least one correction roller is provided with an adjusting device for the automated adjustment of the at least one correction roller to achieve a minimization of the curvature and / or the distance.

- the electronic control unit continues to control the position or setting of a coating nozzle or a wiper nozzle.
- the object with respect to the method is achieved by a method for controlling the strip position of a strip, having a device which has at least one sensor for detecting a curvature of the strip in a direction transverse to the longitudinal direction and / or for detecting a distance of the strip from a predeterminable strip position, what is also called belt layer, with an automated setting by means of at least one correction roller with an adjusting device to achieve a minimization of the curvature and / or the distance.
- an electronic control unit receives the signals and / or data of the sensors and controls the setting of the at least one correction roller.
- the electronic control unit continues to receive signals from a strip stabilizing device and / or a cold layer thickness measuring device.
- the electronic control unit continues to control the position of a coating nozzle or wiper nozzle.

- scrapers or wiper nozzles can be provided which remove excess applied material of the coating from the belt 2.
- the galvanizing device and the rollers 3, 4 for transporting the belt 2 through a bath can be made adjustable by adjustment devices.
- a detection device 5 with a sensor 6 and an adjusting device 7 of the sensor 6 is used which detects the curvature 8 of the belt 2 in the direction transverse to the transport or longitudinal direction of the belt.
