STAND FOR ROLLING BANDS Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: metal rolling processes and equipment. SUBSTANCE: in order to roll different-width bands it is necessary to adapt barrel shape of rolling rolls for compensating action of intermediate and backup rolls near edges of band as rolling rolls are bent near said edges. Rolling rolls, intermediate rolls and backup rolls are axially shifted in such a way that edges of band are not tapered. There are annular recesses on one end of each rolling roll and of intermediate roll. Upper set of rolls is turned relative to lower set of rolls by 180 degrees. Axial shift values of rolling and intermediate rolls are different ones. EFFECT: lowered values of crumpling and tapering edges of band. 3 cl, 6 dwg
