  • Roll mills are well known, in which two cooperating work rolls are trimmed by (at least) two support rolls, for example, to roll a steel strip.
  • Axialverschiebesysteme be provided for the work rolls are the work rolls during calibration in a normal position (axial displacement is zero)
  • the work rolls are pressed directly against each other and recorded the expansion curve, from the Gerustmodul determined and the roll gap set in parallel or symmetrically This takes place before the rolling process
  • the conditions during calibration are calculated using a computer program.
  • the bandwidth is usually much narrower than the contact width between the two work rolls. This results in different contact ratios once during calibration and once during rolling. This in turn leads to different frame strains in the two named cases Rolling (in particular when using CVC rollers), the Gerustmodul varies depending on the relative axial displacement between the work rolls Furthermore, the geometric conditions in the nip and between the working and support rolls change during axial displacement This applies in particular when no cylindrical rollers but those with asymmetric profiles are used (for example, with CVC grinding or similar form)

  • the work rolls can in principle have any outer surface, for example a cylindrical outer contour. Likewise, a crowned or concave outer contour of the work rolls is possible. However, it is preferably provided that an asymmetrical work roll contour is present, for example a combined crowned and concave outer contour (CVC rolls) or In general, an outer contour which can be described with a polynomial, in particular with a polynomial of at least the third order, or with a trigonometric function
  • the force acting in the framework force can be determined by means of at least one load cell

  • a mathematical model then becomes the geometric changes and changes in the load distribution in the roll nip and between the work roll and support roll and the associated strain changes for each current displacement position during the rolling process converted The thickness control compensates for these effects and adjusts the exact thickness
