To minimize the setup times in the case of a tool changeover on rolls, the movement sequences are separated into transverse movements and vertical movements using a tool changeover system and method for changeover of at least one tool disposed on a roll shaft in a working position. In one aspect, the tool changeover system includes a tool changeover rack, a vertical transport and a transverse transport. A drawing frame separate from the tool changeover rack can be transported transversely separately with reference to the tool changeover rack. The tool changeover rack has a device for connecting with the vertical transport and a tool accommodation for accommodating the tool. The drawing frame has a device for connecting with the transverse transport and a device for connecting with the tool.

An assembly, system and method for compensating a crane position offset error based on wheel float by viewing, with an optical sensor located on a trolley on the crane, a target or target shape adjacent a storage rack containing a vertically stored mill roll and determining a positional compensation signal based on a separation or offset of a center of a field of view of the sensor from a center of the target shape. The assembly, system or method compensates for the crane position offset error by moving the crane, as instructed by the positional compensation signal, a distance equal to the separation or offset of the center of the field of view of the sensor from the center of the target.
