Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for calibrating vertical rolls or vertical rolls (hereinafter referred to as vertical rolls) of a vertical roll stand for rolling flat metal products, in particular for rolling steel and non-ferrous metals.

  • a calibration may be necessary, for example, whenever the vertical rolling stand is put back into operation after a repair, when the rolling train is restarted after a standstill or after a loss of signal from the controller or when the rolling result suggests a correction of the position of the vertical rollers.
  • the vertical rollers in vertical rolling stands are calibrated using measuring aids such as tape measure, laser rangefinder or other measuring devices that are used by the operating personnel on the machine or attached to it for calibration.

  • BV denotes a tape tracking system with which partial areas of the calibration slab 20 can be tracked. This is particularly useful and expedient when a calibration slab 20 is to be used several times to carry out the calibration. Subareas or partial lengths of the calibration slab 20 can then be brought into engagement with the vertical rollers 7 of the vertical rolling stand 1. These partial areas can then be recorded by means of the belt tracking system and their width can be measured in a targeted manner.
  • FIG. 5 illustrates part of the method according to the invention in which, as already mentioned above, a width measurement of the calibration slab 20 is not provided.
  • the same components are provided with the same reference numerals in FIG.
  • the length of the calibration slab 20 is dimensioned such that it can extend at least through the inlet side guide 17 and the vertical roll stand 1 connected downstream in the rolling direction.
  • the rolling direction is indicated in Figure 5 with an arrow.
  • the latter is provided with an exchangeable caliber plate 21.
  • the caliber plate 21, which extends over the height of the calibration slab 20 and protrudes laterally, is dimensioned such that it essentially determines the width of the calibration slab 20 in the area of the engagement of the vertical rollers 7 of the vertical rolling stand 1.
  • the exchangeability of the caliber plate 21 ensures that a wear-related change in the width of the calibration slab 20 can be compensated for in the relevant area.
  • a centering plate 22 is provided which extends over the height of the calibration slab 20 and is arranged protruding laterally.
  • the centering plate 22 is exchangeable and, together with the inlet side guide 17, causes the calibration slab 20 to be centered with respect to the center line 2 of the rolling train between the vertical rollers.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé d'étalonnage de rouleaux verticaux (7) d'une cage de laminoir vertical (1), chaque rouleau vertical étant monté dans une unité de rouleau vertical (3) qui peut être réglée par rapport à une ligne centrale spécifiée (2) d'une pluralité de composants agencés dans un train de laminoir. Le procédé comprend les étapes consistant à vérifier les distances réelles entre les rouleaux verticaux (7) et la ligne centrale (2) du train de laminoir dans une position de fonctionnement prédéfinie, lesdites distances réelles étant de préférence vérifiées lorsqu'aucun matériau n'est situé entre les cylindres verticaux (7) ; à utiliser au moins une plaque de calibrage (20) dont la largeur est connue et spécifiée et à introduire la plaque d'étalonnage (20) dans la cage de laminoir vertical ; placer les rouleaux verticaux (7) contre la plaque de calibrage (20) avec une force de réglage définie, tandis que la plaque d'étalonnage est guidée à travers la cage de laminoir vertical (1) ; et calculer des distances cibles entre les axes centraux longitudinaux (13) des cylindres verticaux (7) sur la base des distances réelles entre les axes centraux longitudinaux (13) des cylindres verticaux (7) et la ligne centrale (2) du train de laminoir et sur la base de la largeur de la plaque de calibrage (20).
