  • FIG. 5C shows a state immediately after the time t14, where the tail end St has reached below the detection position of the sensor 42A, and thus the presence of the strip S is detected by the sensor 42A. Thereafter, the presence of the strip S is no longer detected by the sensor 42A when the tail end St moves above the detection position of the sensor 42A.
  • the separation detection unit 56 determines that the tail end St separates from the unwinder 2 at the time 114 when the presence of the strip S is detected at the position below the unwinder 2 by the sensor 42A.

  • the rolling apparatus 1 rolls the strip S at the steady velocity until time t21. Then, at time t22 later than time t21, the gripping of the tail end portion Sa by the gripper 22 is released (step S2). Until the time t22, the tail end and the tail end portion of the strip S are unseparated from the mandrel 4 as shown in FIG. 5 A .

  • FIG. 5C shows a state at a point in time after the time t22 and before the time t24, where the tail end St separates from the unwinder 2, but the strip S exists at the detection position of the sensor 42B, and thus the presence of the strip S is detected by the sensor 42B.
  • FIG. 5D shows a state immediately after the time t24, where the tail end St has reached above the detection position of the sensor 42B, and thus the presence of the strip S is no longer detected by the sensor 42A.
  • the separation detection unit 56 determines that the tail end St separates from the unwinder 2 at the time t24 when the presence of the strip S is no longer detected at the position above the unwinder 2 by the sensor 42B.

  • Step S8 includes controlling the rotation of the motor 11 to stop the rotation of the mill rolls 15, 16, based on the velocity of the step S acquired in step S4 and the timing (separation timing) when the separation of the tail end St from the unwinder 2 is detected in the step S6.
  • the strip S can be stopped such that the tail end St is located at a desired position (for example, a position where rolling in a next pass can smoothly be stared; such as a position immediately before the deflector roll 6 or a position of the guide table 8). Therefore, in the reverse-type rolling apparatus 1, even after the tail end St separates from the unwinder 2, rolling can continue until the mill rolls 15, 16 stop, as well as rolling in the next pass can smoothly be started. Therefore, yield can be improved while suppressing an increase in time required for rolling.
  • Step S8 may include stopping the rotation of the mill rolls 15, 16 based on, in addition to the velocity of the strip S and the separation timing of the tail end St, the length of the strip S from the position of the tail end St at the separation timing to the estimated stop position of the tail end St.
  • a movement length of the strip S (that is, a movement length of the tail end St) can be expressed as a time integral of the velocity of the strip S. Therefore, the strip S can easily be stopped such that the tail end St is located at a desired estimated stop position, by controlling the rotation and the stop of the mill rolls 15, 16 (motor 11) with the rotation control unit so that the time integral of the velocity of the strip S acquired by the velocity acquisition unit 54 is the length of the strip S described above. Thus, it becomes easier to smoothly start rolling in the next pass.
  • a length may be used which is geometrically obtained based on the sensors 42 (sensors 42A to 42C, etc.) for detecting the separation of the tail end St, the estimated stop position of the tail end St, and the like.
  • Step S8 may include increasing or decreasing the velocity of the strip S during a period between the separation timing of the tail end St from the unwinder 2 and the stopping of the mill rolls 15, 16, for example, as shown in FIG. 6 or 7 .
  • the velocity of the strip S is increased from time t15 or t25 after the separation timing (time t14 or t24) to time t16 or t26, and the velocity of the strip S is decreased from the time t16 or t26 to time t17 or t27 (when mill rolls 15, 16 stop).
  • the time required for rolling the strip S can be reduced by thus increasing the velocity of the strip S as much as possible until immediately before the strip S stops, and the tail end St is stably and easily located at the desired estimated stop position by thus decreasing the velocity of the strip S immediately before the strip S stops.
  • FIGs. 8 and 9 are each a view for describing the number of windings of the strip S in the unwinder 2.
  • the number of windings of the strip S is counted based on an angular position of the gripper 22 around the rotational axis of the mandrel 4 of the unwinder 2.
  • the angular position of the gripper 22 is the same as an angular position T where the strip S wound on the unwinder 2 is unwound toward the mill rolls 15, 16 (a position where the shape of the strip S changes from an arc shape to a linear shape). That is, FIG. 8 shows a state where the strip S is wound on the mandrel 4 of the unwinder 2 at one round.
