Rolling apparatus

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE: To shorten the working time for rearranging rolling rolls, and to make a highly accurate product rollable, by loading plural rolling mills on a single truck, and by carrying out an on-line centering process for adjoining rolling mills. CONSTITUTION: Vertical rolling mills 22, 21 and horizontal rolling mills 23, 24 are arranged on a single line and are loaded on a common truck 39 possible to carry out an interroll centering work. When the rolls are to be rearranged for changing the rolling size, the truck 39 is withdrawn perpendicularly to the rolling line. The truck 39 is moved on a rail 43 parallelly to the rolling line by a side shifter 42 as far as a distance equal to the length of the truck 39. Moreover, each rolling mill to be used next is loaded on a truck 44 at a stand-by position on the outside of the side shift line. By the present constitution, the distance between adjoining rolling mills can be shortened, and the on-line interroll centering work becomes possible, so that the rearrangement of rolls is completed promptly.
