Definitions

  • ABSTRACT This disclosure is directed to dismantling and assembling operations for work rolls and/or backup rolls, which may include backup rolls with an additional pair of bearing chocks for backup roll bending facilities such as employed in a 4-high rolling mill.
  • the apparatus disclosed includes a pair of extractor cars horizontally displaceable towards and away from each other at spaced-apart locations. Displaced at right angles between these cars is a roll carriage having support saddles for carrying in a horizontal spaced relation a worn roll assembly and a refurbished roll assembly.
  • the roll carriage has stop means employed to align at different times the rolls carried by the saddles in relation to travel of the extractor cars.
  • the extractor cars have guides to assure their mutual alignment with respect to each other and with respect to a roll supported by the saddles.
  • FIG. 1 A first figure.
  • This invention relates to an apparatus for handling and manipulating roll assemblies, inc l u d ing the component parts thereof, employed-in a 4-high rolling mill, and, in a specific instance, a rolling mill incorporating means for applying bending forces to extended journals of the backup rolls. More particularly, the present invention is adapted to be employed for dismantling and assembling each of the roll assemblies which are removed from such arolling mill for servicing.
  • Advancements in rolling mill technology include the concept of applying bending forces to extended. journals of the backup rolls of a 4-high rolling mill to control in a predetermined manner the roll deflections which inherently occur during the operation of the rolling mill.
  • Certain forms of the necessary apparatus to carry out this concept known in the art as backup roll bending, are disclosed in U. S.Pat. Nos. 3,250,105; 3,364,715; and 3,373,589. It is important with respect to the present invention that the apparatus employed to apply the backup roll bending forces includes an outboard bearing chock assembly mounted on each extended journal of the backup rolls. These outboard bearing chock assemblies are each spaced from other bearing chock assemblies mounted on the journals of the backup roll for rotatably supporting the backup rolls in the conventional manner within the rolling mill housing.
  • Rolling mil] roll changing is usually semblies twice a week.
  • the rolls are scheduled for replacement in the mill stand on the basis of changing the pair of work roll assemblies once each week and changing the pair of backup roll assemblies every four weeks.
  • the worn roll assemblies which have been removed from the rolling mill are transported to a designated-area, such as a roll shop, where the roll assemblies are dismantled to their major component parts. These component parts are inspected and repaired, if necessary, and then reassembled on a refurbished roll to form a replacement roll assembly for future use in the rolling mill.
  • each of the work roll assemblies will measure in excess of 26 feet long, while each backup roll assembly will measure in excess of 38 feet and weigh 325 tons.
  • the facilities In order to reduce the capital investment required for facilities to handle and manipulate these roll assemblies, including their various bearing chocks and other component parts during the dismantling and assembling operations, the facilities must accommodate at different times each of the work roll assemblies and each of the backup roll assemblies for a given rolling mill installation. Such facilities preferably must accommodate all the roll assemblies from a number of mill stands including a rolling mill stand incorporating backup roll bending apparatus.
  • Known prior art has not satisfactorily met each of the foregoing requirements principally due to an inherent and traditional lack of uniformity in regard to the over-all dimensional size and configuration of the bearing chocks associated with each of the work roll assemblies and the backup roll assemblies. Compounding this lack of uniformity are the differences in the diameters of the work roll and backup roll.
  • the backup rolls are much larger in diameter and the bearing chocks thereof are dimensionally larger in comparison with the work rolls and their bearing chocks.
  • the handling and manipulating apparatus must be constructed in a robust manner to withstand and support the forces and weight encountered during dismantling and assembling operations. These operations additionally demand critically precise alignment and movements in order to avoid possible damage to bearings, journal support surfaces for the bearings, drive coupling members and other parts of the roll assembly in order to assure an economically successful operation of the facilities. ln this regard, an important consideration is the time and labor required for mechanized dismantling of bearing chocks and other parts from a roll assembly, as well as the assembling operations, to form a roll assembly for reuse in the rolling mill.
