Verfahren und Vorrichtung zum Stoppen eines Satzes von Rollen

摘要

The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for stopping a roll set, shortly, a set comprising a plurality of rolls in a controlled fashion. Typically, such a set is launched from a slitter (1), wherefrom it is rolled along a downward ramp (7) to a conveyor (5). On the downward ramp (7), aside the conveyor (5), is adapted a number of adjacent stop gages (6) suited for being controlled to a home position and an operating position, respectively. For each roll (4), a required number of the stop gages (6) located along the rolling path of the roll is selected to operate, while the rest of the stop gages are left in their home positions. In this fashion, each roll (4) can be stopped individually even when the rolls move simultaneously and, moreover, the stopping force can be adjusted separately for each roll.
