A cross-rolling mill for rolling a block over a mandrel forms a hollow block. It includes a plurality of working rollers, each of which exerts a substantially radially aligned rolling force onto the block. The working rollers are supported in a roll stand, and the gap between the working rollers and preferably also the alignment of the rolling axis of at least one of the working rollers relative to the block can be modified. Hydraulic actuators, preferably hydraulic capsules, are provided in order to modify the rolling gap and preferably also the alignment of the rolling axis of at least one of the working rollers relative to the block.

A hot-rolling stand (10) for a hot-rolling mill comprises an adjusting device (12), which is intended for receiving a pair of work rolls (17) and for positioning work rolls (18, 19; 20, 21) of the pair of work rolls (17) in relation to one another to define a roll gap. In order to create a hot-rolling stand (10) that can be adapted as flexibly as possible, the adjusting device (12) is designed to interchangeably accommodate, in the pair of work rolls (17), different roll diameter ranges by means of mutually complementary work rolls (18, 19; 20, 21).

Metal plastic forming processes and equipment that provides a flexible skew rolling mill with dual-rotatable-shafts, including a base unit, a guide unit, two rollers, two servo main-shaft systems, a roller distance adjusting mechanism, two tilt angle adjusting mechanisms, a cooling system and a numerical control system. The two servo main-shaft systems are mounted under the support of the two beds, thereby driving the two rollers to do rotation motion; the roller distance adjusting mechanism drives the two beds, thereby enabling the two rollers to do synchronous centering and radial feed motion; the two tilt angle adjusting mechanisms drive the servo main-shaft systems respectively to rotate around a horizontal rolling center line and enable the two rollers to do tilt angle adjustment motion; and the numerical control system controls a rotating speed, radial feed and tilt angle adjustment of the two rollers, such that skew rolling mills and rollers of the same dimensions and specification can form shaft parts of different dimensions and specifications by flexible skew rolling. The flexible skew rolling mill with dual-rotatable-shafts has the advantages that the beds are synchronously centered and radial feed, the strength of the beds is high, the mounting and debugging are convenient, flexible production can be realized and the like such that the flexible skew rolling mill has broad prospects of being applied to the field of forming large-diameter shaft parts with diversified specifications.

There is provided a rolling mill that includes a plurality of rolls, in which any one roll among respective rolls is adopted as a reference roll, including a load detection apparatus, detects a vertical roll load at a rolling support point position; a pressing apparatus pressing the roll chocks in the rolling direction; a driving apparatus moving the roll chocks in the rolling direction; and a position control unit which fixes a rolling direction position of roll chocks of the reference roll, and drives the driving apparatus to control positions in the rolling direction of the roll chocks of the rolls other than the reference roll.

A single-side tower-type roller system based asynchronous rolling mill for rolling an ultra-thin composite strip and a hydraulic system therefor are provided. The mill includes a machine frame and reel assemblies. An upper roller system assembly and a lower roller system assembly are arranged in the machine frame. A down-pressing assembly is arranged on the machine frame and used to adjust a roll gap between the upper roller system assembly and the lower roller system assembly.
