  • Each screwdown device 112 also incorporates means for in crossing and decreasing the stiffness of the apparatus as described in our U.S. application Scr. No. 530,615 now US. Pat. No. 3,425,253.
  • This means comprises in this instance a single titanium tubular member 33 which is disposed axially within the shaft 13 and abuts at its and remote from cup 17 against a stop nut lid which is screw-thrsndnbly received within the upper end of the shaft 113.

  • H6. 6 is now referred to.
  • F 16 As the work rolls oscillate during reduction of the thickness of metal W, a metal-finishing part of each oscillation upon each incremental length 38 occurs upon work roll movement in a direction opposite to that of the metal advance and towards the common plane indicated by line 37.
  • the metalfmishing part of an oscillation is shown diagrammatically to occur between positions 39 and d (P16. 6) which are spaced from the common plane.
  • the operation of the tubular members to increase the stiffness of the apparatus directs movement of the work rolls so that they move along slightly curved paths whereby a curved surface dil is apparent upon both sides of each incremental length.
  • FIG. ti as each incremental length is then fed forward the result in the finally reduced metal is a series of curved connected parts ill of the surfaces of the metal.
  • the thickness of the reduced metal may vary by possibly 0.00i inch between the peaks 41 2 connecting adjacent curved parts of the surfaces and the lowest regions of those parts.
  • Means for applying the auxiliary load in this embodiment is partly incorporated with each screwdown device and comprises cylinder and piston means. As shown in FIG.
  • the cylinder is provided by the nut L l-t which has a chamber 43 receiving a piston 4 41 provided with a tie rod 45 which extends axially along the tubular member 33, the other end of the tie rod having an enlarged head 46 which engages with a shoulder l7 upon the inner surface of the sleeve 35. Movement of the piston vertically by the application of fluid pressure into the chamber 43 will, therefore, subject the tubular member 33 to an axial compressive load between the sleeve 35 and nut 34.
  • the means for applying the auxiliary load also comprises fluid-pressurizing means to apply pressure within the chamber 43 to effect movement of the piston in a controlled manner, the fluid-pressurizing means comprising a pump db (see Fit ⁇ . 4).
  • the pump comprises a cylinder 19 containing a piston 50, and the chamber 511 of the cylinder is interconnected directly by way of a passage 52 with the chamber d3 of the nut 3d.
  • the piston St is urged outwardly from the cylinder by a compression spring 53 which acts against an enlarged head 54 of the piston so as to hold the remote surface of the head in engagement with a cam surface of a cam 55, which forms part of an operating means for the pressurizing means.
  • the cam is secured to a shaft 56 which is drivable connected to the driving means of the apparatus so as to synchronize the movement of the piston with the oscillatory movement of the arms ll.
  • Means are provided for adjusting the operation of the pressurizing means to occur at any of a plurality of oscillating positions of the arm.
  • This means comprises a manually controlled gearwheel 57 which engages an arcuate toothed quadrant $8 secured to the cylinder 49.
  • the quadrant b is retained in position by guide wheels 59 engaging on a bacltplate 60 of the quadrant so that the quadrant 5d and thus the cylinder d9 move upon rotation of the gear 57 around an arc, the center of which coincides with the center of rotation of the shaft ss.
  • Rotation of the gear 57 therefore, to move the pump in either direction from the position shown in FIG. 4 will have the effect of delaying or advancing the operation of the pump by the earn as it rotates.
  • the operation of the pump to cause the piston 44 to move to apply a compressive a'zriliary load to each of the tubular members is adjusted in an attempt to eliminate the curvature of the surface of each incremental length 38 of metal as it passes between the work rolls.
  • the roll displacement force as it increases during movement of each work roll on the metal-finishing part of each oscillation is initially taken through the tubular members 33 as described above.
  • the pump which has previously been set in a most desirable position by the gear 5'7, is caused to operate so as to effect movement of the piston along the cylinder to apply an auxiliary load to the tubular members.
  • This auxiliary load has the effect of assisting the roll displacement force in moving the work rolls apart from one another so that if the auxiliary load is applied before the work rolls reach their closest relative positions apart on the metalfinishing part of each oscillation, then the work rolls are caused to continue on their oscillation further apart than they would otherwise have done.
  • the effect of this is shown diagrammatically in FIG. 7 from which it is clear that if the curvature of the surface dl upon each incremental length 38 is not removed completely, then at least the curve is less pronounced and the variation in metal thickness is clearly reduced so that the work rolls move more towards straightline parallel paths along their metal finishing parts of the oscillations.
  • means are provided for adjusting the working volume of the pump to adjust the auxiliary load.
  • This means may comprise a linkage mechanism between the cam and piston, the effective working length of one of the links being adjustable so that the ratio of compound movement is changed to alter the length of stroke of the piston.
  • Such a type of linkage is well known in the engineering field.
  • this effect may be achieved by other means, for instance, by having the cam surface on the outside of an eccentric annulus which itself is angularly adjustably mounted around a second eccentric annulus which is fixed upon the cam drive shaft. By altering the angular position of the outer annulus, the effective eccentricity of the outer annulus can be varied, thereby altering the effective working stroke of the piston.
  • apparatus for reducing the thickness of metal is basically of the same construction m described in the first embodiment and identical parts bear identical reference numerals.
  • each screw down mechanism 12 is of the hollow screw shaft and nut construction driven by a worm and worrnwheel as described in the first embodiment, no means for providing an auxiliary load is provided upon each screw down device.
  • the tubular member 33 of each screw clown device does not, therefore, contain a tie rod and as the piston dd is omitted, the nut at the end of the shaft i3 is of solid construction.
  • a means for applying an auxiliary load is two fluidoperablc means, each of which are disposed between the free ends of opposing beams ll of the mill as. shown in FlG. 8.
  • Each fluid operable means comprises a cylinder bl, a chamber of which contains a piston 62, extensions of the cylinder and piston being pivotally mounted respectively at the free ends of upper and lower beams.
  • Fluid is provided for pressurizing the chamber in the cylinder 61 from an accumulator 63 so that upon altering the relative positions of upper and lower beams prior to operation of the mill, a desired pressure within the chamber may be maintained although the volume of the chamber is altered.
  • a part 64 of a passage 65 connecting the accumulator with the chamber is of restricted cross-sectional area, as shown diagrammaticallyin FIG. 8, so as to allow for the flow of fluid through the restricted part in both directions at a rate which is slow relative to that normally required to cause movement of the piston within the cylinder to apply an auxiliary load during a working operation.
  • the restricted part 64 therefore, ensures that the accumulator may only be used to apply fluid to or remove it from the chamber by the operation of the screw down mechanism when a slow flow of fluid is allowed to take place.
  • a bypass 66 of the passage is connected to a fluid-pressurizing means which is drivable by an operating means.
  • the fluidpressurizing means and the operating means are of the same construction as described in the first embodiment with reference to FIG. 4.

  • the position of application of the auxiliary load may be adjusted by movement of the pump 48 around the axis of the driving shaft 56 so that the most effective position is obtained to ensure that each reduced incremental length 38 of strip has the greatest uniformity of thickness possible by controlling movement of the work rolls on the metal-finishing part of each oscillation so that they move from their otherwise arcuate paths towards or into straight-line parallel paths of movement.
