Strip guiding for downcoilers.

摘要

In an arrangement for coiling metal strip (11) on a downcoiler (8), the strip is directed to the downcoiler by a pair of pinch rolls (4, 6) and one or both of the rolls are used to steer the strip to a desired position on the mandrel so that a coil with tidy vertical sides is formed on the mandrel. One roll of the pair of pinch rolls may be skewed with respect to the other roll or both rolls may be skewed to the direction of travel of the strip material.
