METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DETERMINING THE LATERAL CONTOUR OF THE STRIP OR THE POSITION OF THE EDGES OF A MOVING METAL STRIP Russian patent published in 2022 - IPC B21B38/04 

FIELD: rolling.

SUBSTANCE: inventions relate to the field of rolling production and can be used to determine the lateral contour of a metal strip and/or the position of the edges of a strip section moving through a conveying device of a rolling mill, preferably a hot rolling mill. The device contains at least one sensor element for recording relevant data for determining the lateral contour of the strip and/or the position of the edges of the strip, made with the possibility of bringing into contact with the side edge of the strip, while the sensor element is integrated into the module of the main part of the side guide of the conveying device and is made in the form of a wear-resistant element with a positional controller. The wear-resistant element is made with the possibility of rotation around the axis of rotation perpendicular to the guide plane of the side guide. The group of inventions also concerns a method for determining the lateral contour of the strip and/or the position of the edges of the strip section using the said device, as well as a method for correcting the movement of the strip moving through the conveying device of the rolling mill.

EFFECT: use of the inventions makes it possible to simplify the design of the device and the process of controlling the side edge of the rolled strip.
