An apparatus for joining billets in continuous rolling mill comprises a pair of parallel rails 14, a travelling welding machine 4 having first support rolls 54,55, a travelling grinding machine 5 having second support rolls 56a, 56b,57, a first group of carriages 41,42,43 each of which has a third support roll 51,52,53 for support billets, and a second group of carriages 44,45,46 each of which has a fourth support roll 58,59,60 for support billets. The travelling welding machine welds a rear end of a preceding billet with a front end of a succeeding billet while moving on the pair of rails. The travelling grinding machine removes burr on weld zone of the billets while moving on the pair of rails. The first group of carriages is arranged at upstream of the travelling welding machine and is connected with the travelling welding machine by a flexible joint member. The second group of carriages is arranged at downstream of the travelling grinding machine and is connected with the travelling grinding machine by a flexible joint member. <IMAGE> |
