A metal band is first rolled in a front and then in a rear (downstream) roll stand of a multi-stand rolling train. A looper between the roll stands may detect a band tension in the metal band. The band tension is supplied to a first and a second tension controller to determine an application additional target value and a speed additional target value. The second tension controller may only determine a value less than or greater than 0, as the speed additional target value, if the band tension is above or below an upper or lower band tension limit. Otherwise, the speed additional target value may be 0. The first tension controller is also supplied with a target tension that falls between the band tension limits. The application additional target value may be used to act on the rear roll stand.

A method for manufacturing a film structure includes: a positional deviation amount detection process of detecting an amount of positional deviation related to a relative position of a second cured film formed on a rear surface of a film with respect to a first cured film formed on a front surface of the film; a relative position adjustment process of correcting a position or a rotation speed of a second transfer roll to adjust the relative position such that the amount of positional deviation detected in the positional deviation amount detection process is reduced; a first tensile force detection process and a second tensile force detection process of respectively detecting a tensile force of the film between a first pressurizing roll and a second pressurizing roll before and after the relative position adjustment process; and a tensile force adjustment process of adjusting the tensile force of the film such that the tensile force of the film detected in the second tensile force detection process approaches the tensile force of the film detected in the first tensile force detection process.

According to an embodiment of the invention, a rolling equipment includes two coiler furnaces; a plurality of mill stands provided between the two coiler furnaces, the plurality of mill stands being for reverse rolling; and an induction heater provided between the plurality of mill stands, the induction heater implementing a heated temperature increase in a designated reverse rolling or in each reverse rolling, the heated temperature increase being in a hot strip longitudinal direction and width direction. Thus, the hot strip temperature distribution can be improved.

A metal band (1) is first rolled in a front (upstream) and then in a rear (downstream) roll stand (2a, 2b) of a multi-stand rolling train. A looper (3) applied on the metal band (1) between the roll stands (2a, 2b) detects a band tension (Z) present in the metal band (1). The band tension (Z) is supplied to a first and a second tension controller (8, 9), which determine an application additional target value (s*, F*) and a speed additional target value (v*). The second tension controller (9) only determines a value less than or greater than 0, as the speed additional target value (v*), if the band tension (Z) is above or below an upper or lower band tension limit (Z1, Z2). Otherwise, same returns the speed additional target value (v*) to the value 0. The first tension controller (8) is also supplied with a target tension (Z*) that falls between the band tension limits (Z1, Z2). The first tension controller (8) determines the application additional target value (s*, F*) using a determining standard based on the deviation of the band tension (Z) from the target tension (Z*). The determining standard also permits a value different to 0 as the application additional target value (s*, F*) if the band tension (Z) falls between the band tension limits (Z1, Z2). The application additional target value (s*, F*) acts on the rear roll stand (2b). The speed additional target value (v*) acts on the front roll stand (2a) with a positive indicator, or on the rear roll stand (2b) with a negative indicator.

A sensor roller for determining planarity errors and/or for determining the tension of a strip tangentially engaging the roller has a roller body rotatable about an axis, having an outer surface, and formed with a plurality of radially outwardly open recesses axially spaced on the surface. Rigid sensor bodies each in a respective one of the recess each have an outer surface generally flush with the outer surface of the roller body. Each sensor body forms with a side surface of the respective recess a peripheral circumferentially fully extending gap. Respective force-measuring sensors in the recesses are each braced between a respective one of the sensor bodies and the roller body radially inward of the respective sensor body. An annular weld seam of welding compound is formed in each of the gaps

An apparatus for processing metallic strip material comprises a feeder for feeding strip material; a strip drive with at least one controllable traction drive with a carrier and a motor, a drivable traction loop and a press assembly, wherein the power of the motor and the pressing force of the press assembly are variably controllable; a roller assembly for flexible rolling; a measuring device for measuring a physical parameter of a component acting on the strip material; wherein the driving power of the motor is controllable on the basis of the physical parameter measured by the measuring device.

Control of self-excited third octave vibration in a metal rolling mill can be achieved by adjusting the tension of the metal strip as it enters a stand. Self-excited third octave vibration can be detected and/or measured by one or more sensors. A high-speed tension adjustor can rapidly adjust the entry tension of the metal strip (e.g., as the metal strip enters a mill stand) to compensate for the detected self-excited third octave vibration. High-speed tension adjustors can include any combination of hydraulic or piezoelectric actuators coupled to the center roll of a bridle roll to rapidly raise or lower the roll and thus induce rapid tension adjustments in the strip. Other high-speed tension adjustors can be used.
