The present invention provides a monitoring method for a plate billet crank flying shear process, including: acquiring a control signal of a control system of a crank flying shear device, and determining a cutting stage of the crank flying shear process according to the control signal; obtaining an actual cutting edge speed curve in the cutting stage, and further dividing the cutting stage into multiple sub-processes according to the actual cutting edge speed curve; obtaining actual data of a parameter related to the crank flying shear process, and for one or more of the multiple sub-processes, separately comparing the actual data of the parameter with typical data of the parameter, in order to estimate an abnormality risk.

In the case of a production plant which comprises in series a thin-slab continuous casting plant (1), which is arranged upstream of a roller hearth furnace (2), the roller hearth furnace (2) and a rolling mill (3), which is arranged downstream of the roller hearth furnace (2) and has an assigned reeling plant (21), wherein the continuous casting plant (1) and the rolling mill (3) can be operated in a continuous operating mode, the intention is to provide a solution that allows a slab buffer capacity to be provided for a continuously operated thin slab continuous casting plant when there is a fault causing a standstill in the transport of the slab or strip. This is achieved by the production plant having four slab or strip cutting devices (10, 14, 17, 24), which are arranged upstream and downstream of the roller hearth furnace (2), in a section along the length of the roller hearth furnace (2) and on the outlet side of a first separate roll line (12) of the rolling mill (3).

Separating flexibly rolled strip material can include a buffer device for temporarily storing the flexibly rolled strip material; a first feed device behind the buffer device; at least one length measuring device for continuously measuring a length of the strip material; a thickness measuring device for continuously measuring a thickness of the strip material along the length; a second feed device behind the first feed device; a separating device behind the second feed device; the first and second feed devices being configured to move the strip material from the buffer device to the separating device depending on the thickness measurement and the length measurement; the thickness measuring device being arranged between the buffer device and the first feed device; and the length measuring device being arranged behind the first feed device.

A system for cutting to length at least two strands of long rolled products (3, 5) preferably coming from a hot rolling mill. The system includes shears comprising at least two rotatable drums (4,6), each drum having a cutter (8,8′,10,10′) arranged to cut simultaneously at least two strands of long rolled products into finished segments. The system further includes at least two movable guides (12,14), each including at least two channels, each guide arranged to receive and guide at least one strand (3,5) of long product. The guides are movable between a position wherein, in operation, the strands of long product are located in positions either outside of the trajectory of the cutters in a position wherein the strands cannot be cut or wherein the strands are located on the trajectories of the cutters and can be cut by the cutters.

A side trimming device according to an embodiment of the present invention may comprise: a cutting unit for mechanically cutting a transferred steel plate; a groove forming unit for forming a groove in a cutting-scheduled area in front of the cutting unit with reference to the steel plate transfer direction; and a washing unit arranged adjacent to the groove forming unit so as to suction molten material accumulating in the groove in the side direction of the steel plate.

Producing a product from flexibly rolled metallic strip material comprises feeding a flexibly rolled strip material; determining a measured thickness profile of the strip material over the length of the strip material and calculating a desired cutting position for a blank to be produced from the strip material; separating a blank from the strip material in the desired cutting position; rotating the blank depending on the determined measured thickness profile such that the blank is aligned with its thickness profile in a defined processing position which differs from the desired cutting position; processing the blank in the processing position by a processing unit, wherein the blank is processed to form a product.

Provided is a shaping device for a roller electrode for seam welding that prepares shapes for a first roller electrode and a second roller electrode attached to an arm of a robot. This shaping device is provided independently from the robot and disposed within rotational range of the arm, and is provided with a first roller and a second roller that are disposed on a line orthogonal to a line joining the rotational centers of the first and second roller electrodes and are in contact with the outer circumferences of the first and second roller electrodes.

The present application discloses wheel engraving equipment, which includes a lower lifting system, lower flange engraving systems, inner rim engraving systems, a wheel positioning and clamping system, an upper lifting and rotating system, a synchronous clamping and rotating system and the like.

A continuous casting and rolling apparatus includes: a continuous casting device; a cutting device that is disposed at the output side of the continuous casting device and cuts an inner slab produced from the continuous casting device; a rolling device pressing down on the slab and disposed downstream of the continuous casting device in the moving direction of the inner slab; a tunnel furnace which is disposed between the cutting device and the rolling device and heats the slab disposed on the main path of the inner slab that is transferred from the continuous casting device to the rolling device; and a loading adjustment unit which is disposed adjacent to the tunnel furnace and unloads the slab from the main path from the outlet side of the tunnel furnace and loads the slab onto the main path from the inlet side of the tunnel furnace.

A method for cutting a cast strand or intermediate strip using shears. In order to facilitate improved rolling of the section having significantly reduced thickness, the method according has the following steps: a) bringing part of the completely solidified cast strand or intermediate strip in the conveying direction (F) of the cast strand or intermediate strip in front of the shears; b) placing a first blade of the shears onto the one surface of the cast strand or intermediate strip and placing a second blade of the shears onto the other surface of the cast strand or intermediate strip and performing a cut by carrying out a relative movement of the two blades, wherein at least one of the blades is in a pushed-forward position; c) upset forging or upset forging with stamping a wedge-shaped contour on the end of the cast strand.
