  • the advantage is that a transducer or sensor is firmly connected to the belt 13 and clamped directly to the rotary encoder of the respective reel 10.
  • the belt speed can also be detected by a laser measurement.
  • Tensile measurements are overload sensitive due to the large tension range, eg of about 1: 20, maintenance-intensive and inaccurate in the lower range. Because of partially eccentric belt support due to flatness errors, measuring devices are required on both sides of the roller. According to the invention, no strip tension measurement is used.
  • the reel impact concerns uncoiling and coiling.
  • Fig. 10 For cold rolling mills, the reels 10 are arranged in front of and behind the roll stands as draw ropes. Due to a partially larger radius on the reel diameter (reel impact), the tension of the tight strip 13 between the roll stand and the reel 10 increases. This increase in tension has an effect as a defect in the strip thickness.
  • the invention detects the reel impact and corrects the resulting tensile defects of the reel 10 and / or the employment of the rolling stand.
  • the detection of the change in train is carried out using the usually already required for other control tasks, measuring stable encoder and facilities for the rolling mill.
  • the out-of-roundness is determined without additional aids such as tension measuring devices, and in a torque control, an additional torque .DELTA.M is connected to the reel 10 as a compensation or carried out at speed control, a speed correction.
  • the pulse generator 17 Since the pulse generator 17 is not arranged directly on the object to be measured (reel 10), but on the motor 24, which is connected to the reel 10 via a gear 32, the engine revolution on the reel rotation ( ⁇ ) must be converted.
  • a pulse adjustment 48 is provided to the transmission 32.
  • one reel turn corresponds to 2.354 engine revolutions, that is, the gear stage.
  • the speed of the belt 50 is to be understood as the revolution (angle) of the reel 10, which is derived from the engine rotation and transmission ratio.
  • the impulse adjustment 52 on v-band, as well as the pulse adjustment 48 to the transmission show that the physical raw signals from the pulley or the roller encoder still need to be converted.
  • 1000 rolling-motor pulses with a roll diameter of 312 mm correspond to a strip length (s) of 243.56 mm.
