ROLLING MILL WITH CONTROLLABLE DEFLECTION ROLL

摘要

A rolling mill has a pair of roll assemblies, at least one of which includes a controllable deflective roll. A first control circuit arranges for the support elements (5) of the roll to position the roll shell (2) in a desired position relative to the beam (1). A second control circuit arranges for the support elements (5) to apply a desired distribution of pressure along the length of the shell (2). The responses of the two circuits are independent and non-interactive.
