Methods of Shifting and Bending Rolls in a Rolling Mill

摘要

An improved roll bending system is described for the work rolls and intermediate rolls in a six high mill. New bending blocks apply improved roll bending forces to the roll chocks, and additionally, are designed to move vertically and rotate, which provide important benefits to maintenance and enhance the rolling operation. Additionally, important related details to the mill operation and bending blocks provide operational improvements during roll changing.
