GUIDE ROLLERS ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE AND HARDWARE Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC B21B39/16 

FIELD: process engineering.

SUBSTANCE: proposed device comprises central case (13 arranged on both sides of rolling axis (M), two guide assemblies (15, 16) sliding in opposition at central case (13) relative to said axis (M), each being provided with at least metal article (11) guide roller (20). It comprises adjusting mechanism (17) fitted in central casing (13) to engage with both guide assemblies (15, 16) for their selective displacement relative to casing (13) at their approach to rolling axis (M). Fine adjustment of guide roller position with the device at rolling line is ensured by adjusting mechanism (17). The latter comprises the system of articulated pantograph levers (21, 22) engaged with central casing (13) by axle (23), axle geometrical axis being aligned with rolling axis (M). Besides, it has first connectors (25) arranged at every lever (21, 22) on opposite sides of said axle (23) to engage every lever (21, 22) with both guide assemblies (15, 16).

EFFECT: simplified and precise adjustment.
