Mechanical high speed roll change system for use with robotic roll change system
A roll mounting system is provided that includes a roll assembly coupled to one or more rolls. The roll assembly is configured to position the one or more rolls using a tapered assembly for mounting or dismounting of the one or more rolls. Also, the roll mounting system includes a torque assembly coupled to the roll assembly. The torque assembly is configured to provide torque to the roll assembly for mounting or dismounting of the one more rolls.
Wire roll stand with individual drive
The invention relates to a roll stand (1) as a constituent part of a roll stand group (2) in a high-speed wire mill, having at least one roll pair or roll ring pair (5) and a drive shaft (7) which is connected to a motor (6), characterized in that each roll stand (1) of this roll stand group (2) is assigned a motor (6) and a drive shaft (7), and the motor (6), the drive shaft (7) and the at least one roll pair or roll ring pair (5) are arranged linearly with respect to one another.
ROLLER ASSEMBLY
The invention relates to a roller assembly (1) comprising two roller shafts which are mounted in a housing. The roller shafts are preferably mounted parallel to each other, and each roller shaft has at least one roller ring on the axial end region of the roller shaft. A seal assembly is secured on or in the housing, said seal assembly being used to allow the axial end region of the roller shafts, together with the roller rings, to be sealed off from the interior of the housing. In order to allow the seal assembly to be serviced in a substantially shorter amount time than before in the event of wear in the seal assembly and in order to allow the replacement of seals in particular, the seal assembly has: a seal support plate which is secured to or in the housing or is part of the housing; two slide rings for each roller shaft, said slide rings being arranged on the roller shaft; a double-lip seal with two seal lips for each roller shaft, said double-lip seal being arranged on the seal support plate, wherein each of the seal lips rests against a slide ring; and a support ring for each roller shaft, said support ring being arranged in the radially inner region of the double-lip seal and radially supporting same. A rotation prevention mechanism is provided, by means of which the double-lip seal is prevented from rotating relative to the seal support plate.
MECHANICAL HIGH SPEED ROLL CHANGE SYSTEM FOR USE WITH ROBOTIC ROLL CHANGE SYSTEM
A roll mounting system is provided that includes a roll assembly coupled to one or more rolls. The roll assembly is configured to position the one or more rolls using a tapered assembly for mounting or dismounting of the one or more rolls. Also, the roll mounting system includes a torque assembly coupled to the roll assembly. The torque assembly is configured to provide torque to the roll assembly for mounting or dismounting of the one more rolls.
UNIT AND APPARATUS FOR ROLLING A METAL PRODUCT
Apparatus for rolling a metal product comprising a plurality of rolling units (11), each provided with a respective rolling roll (12). Each rolling unit (11) comprises a support assembly (17) selectively rotatable around an axis of rotation (Z), and comprising a support rod (20) provided with an attachment portion (23) of a roll (12), and an actuation assembly (35) configured to selectively move the support rod (20) along the axis of rotation (Z) to allow the removal of the roll (12).
Milling apparatus
A milling apparatus includes a plurality of milling roller units each including one milling roller that is made contact with, by pressing, one surface of one of a plurality of differently angled plate parts of an elongated metal milling material and another milling roller that is made contact with another surface of the plate part by pressing. At least one of the milling roller units mills a plate part different from a plate part milled by any other milling roller unit. A plurality of the milling roller units configured to mill an identical plate part are installed in a longitudinal direction of the plate part. The one milling roller and the other milling roller of at least one of the milling roller units are movable in axial directions thereof.
REDUCER AND/OR CALIBRATING ROLLING MILL FOR ROD-SHAPED BODIES
A stretch reducer and/or calibrating rolling mill for rod-shaped bodies, in particular tubular bodies, in particular hollow bodies, said rolling mill comprising a plurality of rolling stands each comprising a plurality of rolling rollers mutually arranged so as to define a passage for said rod-shaped bodies, wherein said rolling stands are arranged in sequence along a rolling direction so that the respective passages are substantially aligned to define a rolling path substantially parallel to said rolling direction, wherein each of at least two of said rolling stands comprises three rolling rollers.
Rolling unit
Rolling unit including at least two adjacent rolling stands, each having a pair of rolling rolls mounted on respective motorized shafts. The rolls of one rolling stand are disposed orthogonal and close to those of the adjacent rolling stand. The shafts are eccentrically supported in respective support elements, which are selectively rotatable around their axis and are each provided with rotation means to cooperate mechanically with an adjustment member suitable to make the support elements selectively rotate to determine an adjustment of the gap between the rolls. The rotation means of one pair of the support elements are directly connected kinematically to each other. The adjustment member is disposed, with respect to the rolling stands, so that the center of its gear lies very close to the line joining the centers of the support elements, so that a substantial part is contained in the bulk defined by the rolling stand.
MILLING APPARATUS
A milling apparatus includes a plurality of milling roller units each including one milling roller that is made contact with, by pressing, one surface of one of a plurality of differently angled plate parts of an elongated metal milling material and another milling roller that is made contact with another surface of the plate part by pressing. At least one of the milling roller units mills a plate part different from a plate part milled by any other milling roller unit. A plurality of the milling roller units configured to mill an identical plate part are installed in a longitudinal direction of the plate part. The one milling roller and the other milling roller of at least one of the milling roller units are movable in axial directions thereof.
Workpiece-shaping tool assembly
A workpiece-shaping tool assembly has a drive shaft having an outer end centered on and rotatable about an axis and a tool fittable with the end of the drive shaft. A torque coupling is formed by shaft splines formed on the drive shaft and tool splines formed on the tool, complementary to the shaft splines, and interfitting with the shaft splines. A radial-force coupling is formed by an inner cylindrical shaft surface formed on the shaft axially offset from the shaft splines and centered on the axis and a respective inner cylindrical tool surface formed on the tool offset from the tool splines, centered on the axis, and radially juxtaposed and engageable with the inner shaft surface.
