Method of operation and control of crown adjustment system drives on cluster mills.

摘要

There is provided a mill computer control system for automatically controlling the position of the individual drives in accordance with at least one predetermined equation so as to produce variable profile forms of the roll gap. Crown forms and tapered forms are generated by the computer in response to single keystroke commands on the keyboard. The drives may be adjusted simultaneously or individually. Individual adjustments may be made which are preserved during changes in the crown form or the tapered form.
