  • the distance of lying in the plane of two supporting roles by means of the drive and Adjustment device can be changed continuously. This change can be brought about by moving both rollers toward or away from each other, whereby the looping and, as a result, the braking effect in the inlet can be given very differentiated.

Abstract

L'invention concerne une installation de laminage, en particulier une installation de laminage à froid pour le laminage à froid d'une bande métallique (2), comportant au moins une cage de laminoir à froid (1), et un dévidoir (3) monté en amont de la cage de laminoir à froid (1). Une unité (10) est intercalée entre le dévidoir (3) et la cage de laminoir à froid (1), ladite unité (10) étant constituée d'au moins trois rouleaux (6, 7, 8) entraînés respectivement en rotation autour d'un axe de rotation (6A, 7A, 8A). Lesdits rouleaux (6, 7, 8) peuvent chacun être déplacés individuellement ou ensemble dans la direction des axes de rotation respectifs (6A, 7A, 8A) et dans une direction transversale à l'axe de rotation (6A, 7A, 8A) au moyen d'un dispositif d'entraînement et de déplacement (11).
